gold star for USAHOF

29. Jim Fox

29. Jim Fox

One of the better scorers for the Kings in the 1980s, Jim Fox, is also one of their most forgotten contributors.

The Right Wing had 43 Points as a rookie, which he followed up with back-to-back 68 Point seasons.  Fox had 30 Goals in 1981-82 and duplicated that in both 1983-84 and 1984-85, where he increased his Points totals to 72 and 83, respectively.  Fox should have been able to improve that as he was only 25 when he had his 83-Point year, but his knees began to become issues.

Fox was held to 39 Games in 1984-85 and missed a handful of games the next two years before he was unable to play the entirety of the 1988-89 campaign.  He tried a comeback but had to retire before 30.  Fox had 479 Points in his career, all of which was with the Kings.

He would later have a long career with the organization, working as a broadcaster.
