James Duncan Wiemer (born January 9, 1961) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman who played for the Buffalo Sabres, New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings and Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League (NHL).
Wiemer began his path to the pros in Peterborough, Ontario with the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League in 1978. He helped his team to the 1979 Memorial Cup Championship and continued his playing career in Peterborough until the end of the 1980–81 OHL season. Wiemer had his most productive season in 1980–81 when he recorded 95 points on 41 goals and 54 assists. During his tenure there, he was selected in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabres with the 83rd pick in the fourth round.
Wiemer began his professional career with the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League (AHL) under coach Mike Keenan. He was originally drafted as a forward and was later moved back to defence by Keenan. He was an integral part in the 1983 Calder Cup Championship run.
Wiemer began his National Hockey League career and began to bounce around a bit to the aforementioned teams. He experienced his first trade in the NHL on December 6, 1984, when the Sabres traded Wiemer and Steve Patrick to the New York Rangers in exchange for Chris Renaud and Dave Maloney.
