Jacob Larsson (* 29. April 1997 in Ljungby ) is a Swedish ice hockey player , who since May 2016 the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League is under contract and in parallel for their farm team, the San Diego Gulls in the American Hockey League for use comes.

Career

Larsson comes from the youth department of the club in his hometown, the IF Troja-Ljungby . The defender played there until 2013, when he played his first games in the A-Juniors class as a 16-year-old. For the 2013/14 season, Larsson moved to Frölunda HC , where he made his first appearances in the men's team in the Svenska Hockeyligan in the 2014/15 season . At the same time, however, he also ran for the U18 and U20 juniors of the club - as in the previous year. He was also selected in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft 2015 in 27th place by the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League .

In the 2015/16 season , Larsson finally prevailed and became a regular in Frölunda's SHL squad. In addition to winning the Champions Hockey League , he also won the Swedish championship with Frölunda . The defender was then signed on trial by Anaheim's farm team , the San Diego Gulls , from the American Hockey League at the end of April 2016 and used in a play-off game. A month later, he received a three-year NHL entry contract from the Anaheim Ducks. At the beginning of the 2016/17 season, the Ducks initially loaned him to his ex-club Frölunda HC for a few games in the Champions Hockey League, but brought him into their squad at the beginning of the NHL season. Larsson made his debut there in mid-October before he was sent to the AHL after four appearances with the San Diego Gulls. After he had completed four missions there, the management agreed with Frölunda on a renewed loan, so that he joined the roster of the reigning Swedish champions at the beginning of November. At the beginning of the 2017/18 season, the Swede moved permanently to North America.

Larsson played for his home country at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2014 , the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament 2014 , the U18 Junior World Championship 2015 , the U20 Junior World Championship 2016 and the U20 Junior World Championship 2017 .
