1992 Classic Games: Acquired by Detroit with Kevin Miller and Dennis Vial, for Joey Kocer and Petr Ojoos. Teams approacting Detroit about possible trade always want to talk about Cummins. Scouts have been continually impressed by his toughness and desire.

1994 Topps Company: Jim has powerful, brusing size for a winger and uses it effectively in his checking game. Rather than skate around someone, he'll barrel over them and head for the net. He has a good short range shot, but is better at setting screens and finishing checks

1998 Pinnacle: Nicknamed "King Kong," Jim grew up idolizing Hall Of Famer Guy Lafleur. He played his amateur hockey at Michigan State and was selected by the Rangers in the fourth round of the 1989 NHL Entry Draft following his freshman season. Jim, who has played for four NHL teams, was on championship teams in both the AHL (Adirondack 1992) and the IHL (Atlanta in 1994)
