For those asking, yes, Larmer's older brother IS former Blackhawk great Steve Larmer. I've always suspected it, never really
researched it till now.
So with that said, you'd think that Jeff would be at least somewhat capable of what Steve could do. And really, his rookie year
showed some possibility, scoring 45 points and 21 goals, with the latter still a standing rookie record for the Devils, tied with
Kevin Todd's effort in 89-90.
But his career was riddled with injuries. He would miss part of his last season in juniors with a separated shoulder. And as a
Blackhawk, he broke his jaw that pretty much ended his NHL career.
I made it a point to say NHL there, because he would finish that season with the IHL's Milwaukee Admirals, and actually put up
good numbers there. He would continue to play off-and-on between the minors and over in Europe, finishing his playing career
finally with the Admirals in 1994.
