Player Summary:
Austin McDermott is an offensive-minded, right-shot defenseman for the LA Jr. Kings and is widely regarded as one of the top 2012-born blueliners on the West Coast. He plays a mature, complete 200-foot game and anchors the Jr. Kings’ blue line as their #1 defenseman. Austin has seamlessly transitioned from the California Golden Bears to the Jr. Kings, elevating his game while maintaining the poise and offensive touch that make him so effective.
He excels in transition, breaks pucks out cleanly, and drives possession with confidence. On the power play, he’s a true weapon — calm at the blue line, deceptive in his movements, and able to thread passes through tight seams or get shots through traffic. While his offensive abilities stand out, he takes pride in playing a full game, regularly matching up against opponents’ top lines and showing a strong defensive stick and gap control. With his IQ, skating, and two-way impact, Austin is a foundational piece on any back end.
