They don't call him "Jersey Jim" for nothing. Dowd was the first New Jersey native to play for the Devils. Between his success
in high school with Brick Township High and being part of the Cup team in 95, especially with scoring the game winning goal in
Game 2 against the Detroit Red Wings, he has become a cult hero in the state.
And he was only a role player in his years as an NHLer.
After winning the Cup, he had played for 9 different teams, not including his second stint with the Devils in 06-07. The longest
stay was with the Minnesota Wild, playing 3 1/2 seasons. All his other stops were only for about a season each. He just took
work wherever he could get it. (Kinda the premise behind signing with the Flyers for 07-08.)
He founded the Shooting For The Stars Foundation, which organizes charity games with local amateur players around the state.
He's also an active member of the Devils Alumni Association.
