Cummins spent 3 years with the Michigan State Spartans before going pro. While in college Cummins established himself as a strong enforcer willing to drop the golves with anyone. Cummins brought the same intensity to the NHL, where he quickly established a reputation among fellow heavyweights. Cummins originally retired after the 2001–2002 season, but returned to play for the Colorado Avalanche during the 2003–2004 season. After his one season with the Avalanche he retired for good in 2004.
