A part of an impressive 2014 Flyers’ draft class, Mark Friedman began his journey into professional hockey with his first full season and started to make a name for himself in the American Hockey League. Coming out of college Friedman was billed as a puck moving defenseman with a bit of a physical edge - and really, that description couldn’t have been put any better. That’s exactly who he is.
What makes Friedman an exciting prospect to watch is the fact that his play style is entirely different than any other Flyers’ defenseman, both on the current roster and when compared to their other defensive prospects.
