Drew Doughty (born December 8, 1989 in London , Ontario ) is a Canadian ice hockey player of Portuguese origin. The defender has been with the Los Angeles Kings in the National Hockey League since 2008 , who had selected him in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft in second position. With the Kings he won the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014 , while he was personally awarded the James Norris Memorial Trophy as the league's best defender in 2016. He was also Olympic champion with the Canadian national team at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Games .

Career

Drew Doughty began his career in 2004 with the London Junior Knights in the under 16 age group of the Minor Hockey Alliance of Ontario (MHAO). The following year he moved to the Guelph Storm in the OHL Junior League , after they had selected him in the OHL Priority Selection Draft in fifth position. Doughty developed into the best defender of his team in his first year, with whom he reached the conference finals of the playoffs and he prepared 13 goals in the 14 playoff games.

2006/07 Doughty rose to the best offensive defenders in the league, was top scorer of his team with 74 points in 67 games and finished second in the ranking of the OHL defenders with the highest points. But despite his good performance, the Guelph Storm failed in the first round of the playoffs.

In April 2007 he took part with the Canadian national team in the U18 Junior World Championship , where they failed in the semi-finals and also lost the game for the bronze medal. Five months later he was in a Canadian U20 selection, which competed in the eight-game Super Series against a Russian team of the same age group. Canada finally won the series with seven wins and one draw.

Also in the 2007/08 season he led the defenders of the Guelph Storm and took part in the U20 World Junior Championship . With the Canadian national team, he won the gold medal and was voted best defender of the World Cup. In the OHL he again showed very good performances, scored 13 goals and 37 assists in 58 league games and was awarded the Max Kaminsky Trophy as the best defender in the league.

After the season, which found 2008 NHL Entry Draft held and he was by the Los Angeles Kings selected in the first round in second place after the Scouts of the NHL had led him already in its ranking in second place of talentiertesten North American players born. On August 11, 2008, Doughty finally signed his first three-year contract with the Kings and was able to recommend himself directly in the NHL squad for a regular place.

Already in the 2008/09 season he earned a regular place with the Kings and was in 81 games, scored 6 goals, gave 21 assists and collected 27 points. However, the team did not make the jump to the playoffs. In the 2009/10 season he did not miss a single game of the Los Angeles Kings and exceeded his previous year's figures. Doughty scored 16 goals, gave 43 assists and collected 59 points. He made it to the playoffs with the team, but lost in the first round in six games against the Vancouver Canucks . Doughty was elected to the NHL Second All-Star Team after the season ended .

The Canadian then won the Stanley Cup with the Kings in the 2012 and 2014 playoffs . At the same time, he established himself as one of the best defensive players in the league, receiving the James Norris Memorial Trophy in 2016 and joining the NHL First All-Star Team in 2016 and 2018 . As a result, he signed a new eight-year contract in Los Angeles in June 2018, which should earn him an average annual salary of $ 11 million from the start of the 2019/20 season. At the time of signature, he would have been the NHL's highest-paid defender as of 2019. He was then only surpassed in this respect by Erik Karlsson (11.5 million). During the 2019/20 season, the Canadian also recorded his 495th scorer point in the Kings jersey, more than any other defender in franchise history . In this respect he overtook Rob Blake (494).

International

At the 2010 Winter Olympics , he won the gold medal with Team Canada . He was also an Olympic champion with the Canadian national team at the 2014 Winter Olympics and was appointed to the tournament's all-star team. He also represented his home country at the World Cup of Hockey 2016 and won the gold medal there with the team.
