Jason Earl Wiemer (born April 14, 1976) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey forward. He most recently played for the New Jersey Devils of the NHL during the 2005–06 NHL season.
Jason Wiemer was drafted 12th overall in the 1991 WHL Bantam Draft by the Portland Winterhawks.
Wiemer was drafted 8th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft from the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League.
After starting his fourth season with the Winterhawks in 1994–95, Wiemer turned professional after 16 games and made his NHL debut with Tampa Bay. After playing in four seasons with the Lightning and struggling with the weight of offensive expectations due to his junior career, Weimer was traded at the deadline in the 1997–98 season to the Calgary Flames for Sandy McCarthy, a third round pick (Brad Richards) and a fifth round pick in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft on March 24, 1998.
Wiemer then played with the Flames for three seasons establishing himself as an effective enforcer and agitator due to his size, propensity for fighting and ability to deliver hits consistently.
Prior to the 2001–02 season, Wiemer was traded by the Flames, along with Valeri Bure, to the Florida Panthers for Rob Niedermayer on June 23, 2001. Jason recorded a career high 31 points in his lone season with Panthers before he was dealt to the New York Islanders for Branislav Mezei on July 3, 2002.
