description: "Jeffrey John Finger is an American former professional ice hockey defenseman who played in the National Hockey League from 2006-2010 with the Colorado Avalanche and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Finger holds regional records for most goals (17), assists (40), points (57) and games played (199) for NHL players born, in the modern era, within The Copper Country of The Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Only Clarence \"Taffy\" Abel, who was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan,, who played in the NHL from 1926-1934, has played more games (333) than Finger, or any other player born in The Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Finger is regarded as the best all-around ice hockey player to be born and raised in The Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Finger was inducted into Michigan's Upper Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame in 2019."
