Do you enjoy headlines like “Attack’s Jacob Friend not making many friends with his physical play“? If so, you might like the seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Kings. The 6’2” defenseman does indeed have a physical side to his game, seeming to round out the toughness quotient for LA’s trio of new blueliners.
The Skinny
- Pugnacious, gritty, physical, takes no prisoners, etc. Oh, and he fights.
- Decent skater, uses stick well on defense
- Limited offensive game/
Kings take their annual OHL re-entry. Jacob Friend is a great pickup. One of the OHL’s most physical defenders. NHL potential.

Nice pick by the LA Kings taking Jacob Friend. Earned a spot on the Attack out of camp, he’s a big physical, mean defender.
