John Jay Caufield (born July 17, 1960) is an American former ice hockey right winger. He played in the National Hockey League with the New York Rangers, Minnesota North Stars, and Pittsburgh Penguins from 1987 to 1993. With the Penguins he won the Stanley Cup in 1992.

Early life

Caufield was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was raised in the Towamencin Township, Pennsylvania, area about a mile outside Lansdale borough. He graduated from North Penn High School.

Playing career

During the 1979-80 hockey season, Caufield played junior hockey for the Milton Flyers of the OHA-B. The next season, he later attended Hibbing Community College, where he played hockey. Following the season, Caufield went to the University of North Dakota, where he played football and one hockey game during the 1984–85 season. He later signed with the New York Rangers in 1985 and was assigned to the Toledo Goaldiggers of the IHL.

Caufield played 13 games with the Rangers in the 1986–87 season, accumulating 45 penalty minutes.

The Rangers traded Caufield prior to the 1987–88 season, when he played 65 games for the Kalamazoo Wings.

With the Pittsburgh Penguins, Caufield played most of five seasons, including on their 1991–92 Stanley Cup-winning team. He averaged nearly four penalty minutes a game, and in 194 games with Pittsburgh he scored three goals. He was demoted to the IHL for 1993–94 and retired at the end of the season.^[1]

Later life

After he retired as a hockey player, Caufield made a brief appearance as the Penguins' goalie, Brad Tolliver, in the hockey-themed action film Sudden Death. He also became a personal trainer, working extensively with Mario Lemieux during his NHL comebacks. Currently, Caufield works as an analyst on Penguins Pregame & Postgame on SportsNet Pittsburgh.
