[edit] Playing career

A versatile forward who could play both right wing and center, Jankowski was an impressive goal scorer in juniors. While playing for the Oshawa Generals he lead the OHA with 61 goals in 1950–51, winning the Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy in his final junior year. Jankowski spent a single game with the Detroit Red Wings and two seasons with the Chicago Black Hawks, but could never duplicate the success he had in juniors. He went on to play more than three seasons in the AHL and another ten years in the WHL where he was among the leagues top goal scorers.[1]
