Norfolk Admirals News Release
ANAHEIM, Calif. - The Anaheim Ducks, NHL parent club of the AHL's Norfolk Admirals, have reassigned left wing Max Friberg ("FREE-buhrg") to the Admirals.
Friberg, 5-foot-10, 197 pounds, appeared in 55 games with Timra of the Swedish Elite League this season, posting eight goals and 16 points with 12 penalty minutes. The 20-year-old native of Skovde, Sweden, has appeared in 103 career games in Sweden's top professional hockey league with Timra, posting 13 goals and 26 points.
The Anaheim Ducks drafted Friberg in the fifth round (143rd overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, and signed him to a three-year, entry-level contract on June 15, 2012.
