James P. "Jim" Cain (born October 23, 1957) is a hockey team executive and former United States Ambassador to Denmark from July 2005 to January 2009. He was appointed by President George W. Bush on June 30, 2005. He was replaced by Laurie S. Fulton. Cain is a member of the North Carolina Republican Party. He is a former president of the National Hockey League team, Carolina Hurricanes, a position that he held before becoming an ambassador.
Cain was born and raised in High Point, North Carolina. He earned a B.A. degree in Politics and a law degree from Wake Forest University, where he was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity.
In 2016, his daughter's fiancee, Alexander Pinczowski, who was engaged to daughter, Cameron, was killed during a March 22, 2016 ISIS Bombing on the Brussels-National Airport. Cain subsequently acted as the representative of the Pinczowski family, providing the press with private Facebook messages from Sascha Pinczowski (also killed in the bombing), a Dutch national and sister of Alexander, which promoted open borders and welcoming of refugees into Belgium.
He was with the international law firm of Kilpatrick Stockton for 20 years, co-founding the firm's Research Triangle office in 1985. As a lawyer, Cain focused his legal practice on advising corporate and government clients on strategies relating to growth, economic development and community enhancement.
Cain took a leave of absence from Kilpatrick Stockton from January 2000 to November 2002 to serve as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the National Hockey League Carolina Hurricanes and their parent company, Gale Force Holdings. He stepped down after the team went to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2002. He took another leave of absence in 2005 to become U.S. Ambassador to Denmark. He rejoined the firm in March 2009.
