Playing career
He was drafted in the second round, 38th overall, by the New Jersey Devils in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.[1]
In Frazee's freshman and sophomore seasons at the University of Minnesota, he played in 32 games, compiling a 20-6-3 record. At the end of the 2007-08 hockey season, Frazee joined the Lowell Devils. He played in one game, making 22 saves in his AHL debut against the Worcester Sharks. He was promoted to Lowell in 2008 after Martin Brodeur went on IR in November and the Devils called up Scott Clemmensen. Frazee was selected to play in the 2009 AHL All-Star Game in Worcester, MA, where he played alongside the best players in the AHL, and former college teammate Ryan Potulny. On February 19, 2009, Frazee won against the Albany River Rats to set a new Lowell Devils franchise record for wins in a season with 21.
With the injury of Martin Brodeur in March 2013 Frazee was called up to act Johan Hedberg back-up along with Keith Kinkaid. Jeff Frazee then made his NHL debut in a 6-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on March 9, 2013 at the PNC Arena. On August 23, 2013, it was announced that Frazee had signed with HC Valpellice of the Italian Elite A.[2] He started the following season at SønderjyskE Ishockey, but left the Danish team in the course of the season to join the Kassel Huskies of the German DEL2.[3]
In 2015-16, he helped Esbjerg Energy win the Danish championship.[4] On July 6, 2016, Frazee inked a deal with HDD Olimpija Ljubljana, a Slovenian side competing in the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL).[5] He left HDD Olimpija Ljubljana after the 2016-17 season.
