James Livingston (born March 8, 1990) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing with Dornbirner EC of the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL). Livingston was selected by the St. Louis Blues in the 3rd round (70th overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Livingston played five seasons (2006-2011) of major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) where he scored 82 goals and 91 assists for 173 points in 316 games played. In 2008 Livingston was selected to play in the CHL Top Prospects Game.

On March 11, 2011, the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League signed Livingston as a free agent to an entry-level contract.[1] Livingston made his professional debut in the American Hockey League with the Worcester Sharks during the 2011–12 season.

In the final year of his contract with the Sharks, and his third season with Worcester, at the 2013–14 trade deadline he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings for a conditional draft pick on March 5, 2014.[2] He was immediately assigned to AHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs for the remainder of the season.

On September 23, 2014, unable to attain NHL interest, Livingston was signed to a standard player contract with the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL.[3]

On July 3, 2015, Livingston decided to pursue a European career, signing a one-year contract with Austrian club, Dornbirner EC of the EBEL.[4]
