Jared Wright
Jared Wright is unique in that he can play all three forward positions. On CapFriendly, he is listed as a center, left winger, and right winger. The 20-year old right-hander currently plays for the University of Denver Pioneers.
Standing at an astounding, 6-foot-3, 184-pounds, freshman Jared Wright has already heard his name called in the NHL Draft. Drafted by the Los Angeles Kings with the 169th pick in the sixth round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Wright is several years removed from hitting NHL ice. But, his current team, the Pioneers is set to take on the Miami (OH) RedHawks in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference Playoffs.
Jared Wright’s team is coming off a 6-2 win over the RedHawks, in a game in which he did not touch the ice. However, his impact on the ice can be reflected in a game from this past November.
Jared Wright is, by far, the fastest college hockey player I’ve ever seen. Dude has some WHEELS. https://t.co/xMjPkunub7
