Jim Harrison

James David Harrison (born July 9, 1947) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played 324 games in the National Hockey League and 232 games in the World Hockey Association. He played for the Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Alberta/Edmonton Oilers, Cleveland Crusaders, and Chicago Black Hawks.

Harrison was the Oilers' team-scoring champion in their inaugural (1972–73) season. In that season he also set the WHA record for most points in a game with 10 (3 goals, 7 assists) in an 11-3 win over the New York Raiders on January 30, 1973, a mark that was never surpassed in WHA history. Before starting his professional career, Harrison set a record in junior hockey for the WHL of fastest natural hat trick, having scored 3 goals in 24 seconds for the Estevan Bruins during a 6-5 win over the Regina Pats in December 1966.
