Jumbo Jim Powers, Seattle’s hockey legend and quiet powerhouse, passed away at 89, leaving behind a legacy that spanned the ice and the garage. A cornerstone of the Seattle Totems’ golden era in the early 60s, he formed an unstoppable line with Guyle Fielder and Bob Barlow, thrilling fans during the Space Needle’s rise. With over 700 WHL games and nearly 500 points, he also played in the AHL before pivoting to business—opening Lynnwood Motoplex, now run by his sons. Even in retirement, he stayed connected, mentoring youth, supporting local rinks, and maintaining lifelong bonds, especially with Fielder. Inducted into the Washington State Motorcycle Hall of Fame, Powers embodied grit, grace, and quiet impact—leaving Seattle’s sports and business worlds richer for his presence.
