Growing up in western Canada, he played left wing until he was 16, then moved to goaltender. Drafted fifth overall in 1973, he became the first goalie in NHL history to jump directly from major juniors to the NHL. While his hockey career was fraught with many significant injuries, he is perhaps best remembered for leading the Rangers to the 1979 Stanley Cup Finals on an injured left knee.
After retiring due to injury, he joined MSG's hockey coverage staff in 1983, and was the color commentator for the Rangers prior to becoming the president of the St. Louis Blues.
Davidson, often known by the nickname "J.D.", was one of the most prominent color analysts in sports, and his hockey insight is so well respected that he currently sits on the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee. Long-time network TV partner Mike Emrick also sits on that committee, and the two shared the 2004 Lester Patrick Trophy for service to hockey in the U.S.
