Quick Facts
Biography
Jeff Sullivan (born September 19, 1978) is a retired professional ice hockey defenceman who spent six seasons in the ECHL as a member of the Johnstown Chiefs. During his career, he was known as a steady defensive-minded defender who was also willing to provide a role as the team's enforcer. Sullivan also received several recalls from Kentucky Thoroughblades and Saint John Flames, both being AHL affiliates of the Chiefs at different times.
Sullivan has the distinction of being the only Chiefs player in franchise history to have a Bobblehead Night. A bobblehead with Sullivan's likeness was given to the first 2,000 fans in attendance on March 28, 2004, when the Chiefs played the visiting Cincinnati Cyclones.
Sullivan retired at the completion of the 2004-05 ECHL season. With the franchise becoming inactive due to relocation, Sullivan holds several marks within the franchise. He remains third all-time in games played (315), third in seasons with the team (six, tied with former teammate Brent Bilodeau), and the team's all-time leader in penalty minutes. Sullivan's 1,205 PIM is 393 minutes more than second-place Rick Boyd's mark of 812 PIM.
