Jim Neilson spent the majority of his career with the New York Rangers, where he studied under the great Doug Harvey and mentored a young Brad Park.  Part Cree, known as “Chief,” was an underrated presence in the league.  He represented the Rangers twice in the All-Star Game and was named a Second Team All-Star in the 1967-68 season.  Neilson would finish in the top five in Norris Trophy balloting twice.
