James Heward (born March 30, 1971) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey defenceman.
Jamie Heward attended F.W. Johnson Collegiate in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Heward was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round, 16th overall, of the 1989 NHL Entry Draft. After several seasons in the Penguins organization without getting called up to the NHL, Heward became an unrestricted free agent and spent the 1994-95 season with the Canadian National Team scoring 5 assists in 8 games at the 1995 World Championships.
After the World Championships ended, Heward signed a contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on May 4, 1995. Heward spent most of the 1995-96 season with Toronto's AHL affiliate the St. John's Maple Leafs before spending 5 games with the parent club in February 1996. Heward made his NHL debut against the Montreal Canadiens on February 3, 1996 recording 4 shots. Heward again spent the majority of the 1996-97 season in the AHL, however during 20 games with the Maple Leafs, Heward scored his first career NHL goal (and point) on November 2, 1996 against Mike Vernon and the Detroit Red Wings.
On July 31, 1997, Heward signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Flyers but spent the entire season with their AHL affiliate the Philadelphia Phantoms.
In 1998-99, Heward finally found a regular NHL job scoring 18 points in 63 games with the expansion Nashville Predators. After the Predators declined to offer Heward a qualifying offer, and in July 1999, Heward signed a 2 way free agent deal with the New York Islanders spending the 1999-2000 season with the team before being claimed on waivers by the Columbus Blue Jackets on May 26, 2000. Heward played 97 games with Columbus over the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons scoring 30 points.
