Jason King (born September 14, 1981, in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada) is a professional Canadian ice hockey player currently with the Swedish club Skellefteå AIK in Elitserien.
[edit] Playing career
King was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League in the 7th round (212th overall) of the 2001 entry draft. He found some success playing with twin brothers Henrik and Daniel Sedin in his first full season with the team, registering 12 goals in 2003-04, the bulk of which came in the team's first few games. The line quickly earned the nickname "The Mattress Line," due to its members figuratively composing "two twins and a king." He spent the 2004-05 season playing for Vancouver's American Hockey League affiliated team, the Manitoba Moose, where he suffered a serious concussion - one that took him many months to recover from.
Unsigned by the Canucks for the 2006-2007 season, King opted to play for Skellefteå AIK in the Swedish elite league Elitserien.[1]
