I don't remember Christian when he came to New Jersey. I DO know the name, though, thanks to having watched the old AHL
recap show Rinkside when I was younger. Yup, old #11 for the Utica Devils.
The Devils in the early 90s were getting deep on power forwards, so there wasn't any room for Christian to play in the bigs. (His
skating ability was often put to question by scouts.) Thus, he spent most of his time in the organization in the AHL... and had
productive years, I should add, garnering 3 20+ goal years and 50+ point seasons, the best season being his last season in
93-94 with Albany, scoring 34-43-77 that season.
He was a career minor leaguer, but did see some NHL games with Pittsburgh and Phoenix as well as the Devils. After finishing
the 99-00 season with the IHL's Cleveland Lumberjacks, he played four seasons in the German League and one in England.
Since he came back to North America, he largely has played in the CHL, currently playing with the Missouri Mavericks.
While he played for the Tulsa Oilers, he started the Jeff Christian Charitable Foundation, which is set up to benefit children in
Tulsa.
