David James Frost, a.k.a. Jim McCauley, is a former junior ice hockey coach and NHL Players' Association sports agent, best known as the alleged target of a murder-for-hire plot by one of his clients, former St. Louis Blues forward Mike Danton.
Frost currently operates a sports consulting service and travels across North America providing this service on a contract basis. Frost also wrote his hockey autobiography: hockey book titled "Frosty: The Good The Bad The Ugly Going Up The Ranks To The NHL".
He at one time worked in Laguna Niguel, California under the alias Jim McCauley working out at the Laguna Niguel Hockey Academy.
On August 22, 2006 Frost was charged with 12 counts of sexual exploitation by the Ontario Provincial Police for crimes alleged during 1995–2001. The charges relate to his time as coach of the Quinte Hawks Junior hockey team and involve acts on three females between the ages of 16 to 18 yrs. Frost spent around $200,000 to hire Marie Henein as he defence lawyer.Frost was found not guilty on those charges on November 29, 2008 after the judge in the case found "some testimony by government witnesses was simply not believable and he feared some of it had been tainted by collusion".Steve Simmons, writing in The Toronto Sun, criticized the poor performance by the Crown prosecutors, who neglected to call several witnesses who would have likely bolstered the case against Frost.
Frost got his start as a coach with the Toronto Young Nationals, a PeeWee club where he coached, among others, Mike Jefferson (later Mike Danton), Sheldon Keefe, and Joe Goodenow (son of then NHLPA Head Bob Goodenow). He was suspended from the Metro Toronto Hockey League following allegations he forged the signature of the club's general manager. He then took his "Brampton Boys", a reference to the Toronto suburban city of Brampton, to the Quinte Hawks Metro Junior A Club in Deseronto. He was suspended from the Hawks after he pleaded guilty to a charge he assaulted (punched) a 21yr old Hawks player.
