Jamie Drysdale (born April 8, 2002) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected sixth overall by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft,[1][2] and made his NHL debut in 2021.

Early life

Drysdale was born April 8, 2002, in Toronto, Ontario,[3] to Tina and Gary.[4] In addition to playing ice hockey with the Learn to Play program in Toronto, Drysdale spent his childhood figure skating at the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club.[5][6] He spent his minor ice hockey career in the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL), playing with the North York Knights and the Toronto Marlboros.[7] While attending St. Michael's College School, he also played for the Buzzers of the Ontario Junior Hockey League.[8][9] In his final GTHL season, he recorded eight goals and 42 assists in 57 games for the Marlboros.[10] That year, he was named the GTHL Player of the Year, and his defenceman-leading nine points in six games earned him a place on the OHL Cup All-Star Team.[11]

Playing career

Junior

The Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) selected Drysdale fourth overall in the 2018 OHL Priority Selection, and he signed with the team that May.[11] Drysdale joined the team for the 2018-19 OHL season, making his junior ice hockey debut with two assists in the Otters' season-opening 12-1 win over the Flint Firebirds.[12] His first OHL goal followed on October 17, 2018, in Erie's 4-3 win over the Niagara IceDogs.[13] With an overtime goal against the London Knights on February 15, 2019, Drysdale set an Otters franchise record with 29 points as a rookie defenceman, breaking Travis Dermott's previous record.[14] Drysdale finished the 2018-19 season with 40 points in 63 games,[15] and was named to the 2018-19 OHL First All-Rookie Team at defence.[16]

The following season, he ranked 10th among OHL defensemen in points-per-game by recording nine goals and 38 points in 49 games. As a result, he was named an OHL First Team All-Star in 2019–20.[17]

Professional

Anaheim Ducks (2021–2024)

While the league was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Drysdale took up inline skating to remain in shape and began working out at home.[18] Leading up to the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Drysdale received praise from scout David Gregory who said: "Drysdale is the kind of player that every team is looking for, very smart puck-moving defenceman who can beat you with his vision, beat you with his hockey sense, able to use that great quickness and thinking..."[19] He earned a high final ranking from the NHL Central Scouting Bureau amongst North American skaters[19] before being drafted sixth overall by the Anaheim Ducks.[20]

Shortly following the draft, Drysdale signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Anaheim.[17] Drysdale began the 2020–21 season with Anaheim's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the San Diego Gulls. He played in 14 games with the Gulls, registering four goals and ten points before being recalled to Anaheim's taxi squad.[21] In his brief stint with the Gulls, Drysdale was named AHL Rookie of the Month for February 2021.[22] After sitting a few games,[21] Drysdale made his NHL debut on March 18, 2021 against the Arizona Coyotes, where he also recorded his first career NHL goal. During the same game, fellow rookie Trevor Zegras also scored, making the teammates the youngest in NHL history to each score their first NHL goals less than 2:30 apart.[23] He played in 24 games to finish the season, registering eight points.[24] In his first full season with Anaheim during the 2021–22 season, Drysdale played in 81 games, scoring four goals and 32 points. His 32 points placed him second among rookie defencemen in the league.[25]

Eight games into the 2022–23 season, Drysdale suffered a season-ending shoulder injury.[24][25] Following the season, Drysdale was a restricted free agent. He trained in Toronto while his contract situation was sorted, which extended deep into the 2023 training camp. A three-year, $6.9 million agreement was reached between Drysdale and Anaheim on October 5, 2023, at the end of training camp.[25][26]

Philadelphia Flyers (2024–present)

On January 8, 2024, Drysdale and a 2025 second-round pick were traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for the signing rights to Cutter Gauthier.[27] Drysdale made his Flyers debut in a 3–2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on January 10.[28] He scored his first goal for Philadelphia in a 6–3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on January 23.[29]

Drysdale has represented Canada at the international level on numerous occasions. His first international tournament was during the 2018 World U-17 Hockey Challenge with Canada Black.[30] He recorded four points in five games as the team failed to medal.[31] Following the tournament, Drysdale competed at the 2019 IIHF World U18 Championships[32] and 2019 Hlinka Gretzky Cup.[33]

In 2020, Drysdale became the seventh 17-year-old defenceman to play for Team Canada at the World Juniors since 1991. He originally served as Team Canada's extra defenceman before making his debut during the semifinal game against Finland as a replacement for an ill Bowen Byram.[34] Throughout the tournament, he averaged 11:38 of ice time and recorded one goal and two assists in seven games.[35] Drysdale was again named to Team Canada at the 2021 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships where he was a top-pairing defenceman alongside Byram.[35]
