Patrik Laine is a Finnish professional ice hockey winger, born on April 19, 1998, in Tampere, Finland. He began playing hockey at the age of four, experimenting with various positions. Although he initially favored goaltending, his father advised him to switch to playing forward when he was 12 years old. Demonstrating rapid progress, Laine decided to focus entirely on his hockey career and left school at the age of 16 to pursue professional play. That same year, he debuted with Tappara during the 2014–2015 season in Finland's Liiga league.
Laine quickly attracted attention for his powerful shot and strong offensive instincts. By 2016, he was widely recognized as one of the top prospects for the NHL. Hockey publications and analysts ranked him among the top five players eligible for the draft, with many listing him second overall by January 2016. His profile was further enhanced after an outstanding performance at the 2016 IIHF World Junior Championship, where he helped Finland win the gold medal. In the tournament, he recorded 7 goals and 6 assists for a total of 13 points in just 7 games, making him the third-leading scorer. His efforts earned him a spot on the tournament All-Star Team, significantly raising his draft value.
Capitalizing on his strong junior performance, Laine was selected by the Winnipeg Jets as the second overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. He signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Jets on July 3, 2016. Laine made an immediate impact in his NHL debut, scoring a goal and recording an assist in the Jets' first game of the season. Known for his powerful one-timer and scoring ability, Laine quickly became one of the league's top rookies and an integral part of Winnipeg’s offensive lineup.
