Chris Winnes was born February 12, 1968 in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Highly recruited out of the Northwood Prep School in Lake Placid, New York, Winnes was the 9th choice, 161st overall, of the Boston Bruins in the 1987 Entry Draft.
Winnes spent four years (1987-1991) at the University of New Hampshire as a member of the Wildcats hockey program. In his freshman year (1987-88), he finished tied for second in Hockey East rookie scoring and became the first freshman ever to lead the team in scoring with his 17 goals and 19 assists for 36 points. As a result, he was named to the Hockey East All-Freshman Team.
Following his senior year with the Wildcats in 1990-91, Winnes joined the Maine Mariners of the American Hockey League before making his NHL debut with the Bruins in the 1991 playoffs. Spending the better part of the 1991-92 season with the Maine Mariners, Winnes played in 24 games with the Bruins that season and was a member of the 1992 U.S. National team that competed at the World Championships.
After playing in only five games with the Bruins in 1992-93, and spending the better part of the season with the Providence Bruins, Winnes signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Flyers in the summer of 1993. The 1993-94 season saw Winnes play in four games with the Flyers, though he spent the better part of the season and the next with the Hershey Bears.
When the 1995-96 season began, Winnes found himself as a member of the International Hockey League's Michigan K-Wings before being dealt to the Fort Wayne Komets. Following a brief stay in Italy at the beginning of the 1996-97 season, Winnes returned to "I", now with the Utah Grizzlies, where he played only a handful of games.
Three games into the 1997-98 IHL season, the New York Rangers signed the free agent from the San Antonio Dragons and assigned him to its American Hockey League affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. In 1998-99, it was much of the same again for Winnes, sharing his time with IHL's Manitoba Moose and AHL's Wolf Pack.
The Binghamton Icemen of the United Hockey League signed the much-travelled Winnes in the fall of 1999, but his stay was short lived. After only 14 games with the Icemen, Winnes returned to the AHL with stops in Louisville, with the Panthers and a return to Providence before finishing the 1999-2000 season with the Springfield Falcons.
Following the 1999-2000 season, Winnes had played in 34 career NHL games, accounting for one goal and six assists for seven points.
