James van Riemsdyk (/væn ˈriːmzdaɪk/ van REEMZ-dighk;[1] born May 4, 1989), often known by his initials JVR, is an American professional ice hockey left winger for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL). Between 2012 and 2018, he played in the NHL for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he played with the Philadelphia Flyers until 2023.
Van Riemsdyk was born in
During the 2012 offseason, the Flyers traded van Riemsdyk to the Maple Leafs in exchange for defenseman Luke Schenn. He was called up to the top line that fall to replace an injured Joffrey Lupul, but remained there alongside Tyler Bozak and Phil Kessel through the 2014–15 NHL season. When Mike Babcock took over as head coach, he paired van Riemsdyk with two-way forwards Nazem Kadri and Leo Komarov, and van Riemsdyk was on track for a career season when a foot fracture shut him down in January. The next two seasons, van Riemsdyk set a personal record first in single-season point totals and then in single-season goals. He also reached a number of milestones, including his 200th career NHL goal and the 20,000th goal in Maple Leafs history.
Van Riemsdyk became a free agent after the 2017–18 season, and he signed a five-year contract with the Flyers that July. In his first season back, van Riemsdyk was sidelined for 16 games with a lower-body injury, but he returned for 27 goals, including a pair of hat-tricks. The following two seasons were a series of goal droughts followed by hot streaks. In February 2021, van Riemsdyk scored his 500th career NHL point. In addition to his NHL career, van Riemsdyk has represented the United States at a number of international tournaments, including the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Early life
Van Riemsdyk was born on May 4, 1989, in
His hockey career continued at Christian Brothers Academy (CBA) in Lincroft, New Jersey, where he made the varsity team as a freshman in high school.[5] He continued to play with Brick, serving as the team captain for the 2004–05 Midget AA season and leading the team to the Atlantic District Championship.[6] That same year, van Riemsdyk was part of the New Jersey Parochial championship-winning team at CBA.[7] In 2013, the Ocean Ice Palace in New Jersey, where van Riemsdyk had skated throughout his childhood, retired his No. 21 jersey.[8]
Following the 2004–05 hockey season, van Riemsdyk left CBA to join the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (NTDP) in Ann Arbor, Michigan.[5] In his two seasons with the NTDP, van Riemsdyk scored 65 goals and 124 points, tying for fifth- and seventh-highest in program history at the time, respectively.[9] While playing for Team USA, van Riemsdyk became friends with future Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane.[10]

As the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the 2020–21 NHL season to 56 regular-season games, in which the Flyers only played the seven other teams in the East Division, van Riemsdyk's focus was on starting the season strong.[88] He was named the NHL East Division Star of the Month for January 2021, after leading the league with four power-play goals in the first 10 games of the season, leading the Flyers to 15 points. It was the most points the team had recorded in the first 10 games of a season since 2002–03.[89] Being placed on a line with Joel Farabee and Scott Laughton improved van Riemsdyk's scoring and playmaking abilities, as he led all NHL forwards with 4.02 assists per 60 minutes through the first 11 games of the season.[90] Van Riemsdyk's 500th career point came on February 21, 2021, in the Flyers' 7–3 loss to the Bruins at the NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe game.[91] The middle of the season brought another extended goal drought for van Riemsdyk, who went 17 games without a goal before scoring on a breakaway against the Capitals on April 17.[92] On April 22, van Riemsdyk scored a goal when a shot from Travis Konecny deflected off of Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller's stick, hit him in the face, and deflected off of his face into the net.[93] Van Riemsdyk underwent X-rays to examine the extent of the injury and was able to return by the third period, where he scored another goal in the 3–2 win.[93] In the shortened season, van Riemsdyk scored 43 points, tying Giroux and Voráček for the team lead.[94]
Boston Bruins
As a free agent, van Riemsdyk left the Flyers for the second time in his career by signing to a one-year, $1 million contract with the Boston Bruins on July 1, 2023.[95] He played his 1,000th NHL game on March 5, 2024.[96]

Junior
Van Riemsdyk first represented the United States internationally at the 2006 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, where he scored a pair of goals to beat Team Canada Pacific and take the United States to the gold-medal match. He was one of two members of Team USA, alongside goaltender Brad Philips, to be named to the World Hockey Challenge All-Star Team.[97] Quebec ultimately defeated the United States 5–2 in the gold medal match.[98] That same year, he appeared at the 2006 IIHF World U18 Championships, scoring one assist in six games for the gold medal-winning team.[99]
In 2007, van Riemsdyk returned to the World U18 Championships, tying for the tournament lead with 12 points and helping take Team USA to a silver medal.[99] Van Riemsdyk was named both the top forward in the tournament and the most valuable player, and he received a selection to the tournament All-Star team.[100] 2007 was also the year of van Riemsdyk's first World Junior Ice Hockey Championships (WJC) appearance. He played in four games of the series, recording one goal, and Team USA took home the bronze medal. Van Riemsdyk also appeared at the 2008 and 2009 WJC tournaments. Although Team USA failed to medal at both tournaments, van Riemsdyk led all players in scoring in 2008, with 11 points in six games, and he put up another 10 points the following year.[99]
Senior
Van Riemsdyk's first senior international appearance came when he was chosen to represent the United States at the 2011 IIHF World Championship in Slovakia.[101] He was added four games into the qualifying rounds, after the Bruins swept the Flyers in the Stanley Cup playoffs.[102] Van Riemsdyk recorded one goal in his two tournament games,[99] and Team USA was defeated by the Czech Republic in the quarterfinal round.[103] His next international appearance was in 2014, representing Team USA at the Winter Olympics in Sochi. There, he spent most of his minutes on a line with Maple Leafs teammate Phil Kessel and San Jose Sharks center Joe Pavelski. Although the United States fell short of a medal, the van Riemsdyk—Kessel—Pavelski line put up a combined 20 points, whereas no other American player scored more than four points during the 2014 Olympic run.[104]
In 2016, van Riemsdyk was named to Team USA once again for the World Cup of Hockey.[105] He scored one assist in three games during the series,[99] and the team was eliminated after losing its first three games in the preliminary round.[106] He did not return to the international stage until the 2019 IIHF World Championship, where he put up two goals and three assists in eight games for Team USA.[99] The United States team was defeated by Russia in a 4–3 quarterfinal matchup.[107]
Personal life
Van Riemsdyk married his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Tjernlund, on July 19, 2019.
On November 24, 2012, van Riemsdyk played for Team Philly/New Jersey as part of Operation Hat Trick, a charity hockey game held at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey to raise money for those impacted by Hurricane Sandy.[115] The next month, he and former Flyer Scott Hartnell engaged in a fundraising competition for Hurricane Sandy relief.[116] In 2020, van Riemsdyk contributed to the PHL COVID-19 fund, aimed at providing grants to organizations serving high-risk populations in the greater Philadelphia area.[117] In 2017, van Riemsdyk was appointed as the Maple Leafs' ambassador for the You Can Play program, an organization made to support LGBTQ individuals and reduce homophobia in sports.[118] He told reporters that his goal as a You Can Play ambassador was to enforce respect in the greater hockey culture, and to make others "feel like idiots for thinking in a way that's archaic".[119]
Van Riemsdyk, along with fellow Flyers Scott Hartnell, Ian Laperrière, and Matt Carle, made a cameo appearance in the 2012 Judd Apatow comedy film This Is 40.[120] In the film, two characters played by Megan Fox and Leslie Mann decide to unwind at a bar, where they find and flirt with members of the Flyers. Van Riemsdyk said, after the experience, that he and his teammates were nervous about filming, and that they "didn't want to do anything stupid or mess anything up or embarrass ourselves too much".[121]
