[edit] Playing career
Friesen played his junior years with the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League (WHL). He was selected 11th overall in the first round of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks.
Friesen played nearly seven seasons with the Sharks until he was traded to the Mighty Ducks of Anahiem near the end of the 2000-2001 season. After playing the following season with the Ducks, he was traded to the New Jersey Devils for the 2002-2003 season where he won the Stanley Cup. On September 26, 2005, the salary cap troubled Devils traded Friesen to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a conditional 2006 draft pick. On March 9th 2006, he moved again to the Ducks for a second-round draft pick, but spent a significant part of the 2005-06 regular season sidelined with a groin injury.
Friesen was signed by the Calgary Flames on July 5, 2006 to a 1-year $1.6 million dollar contract for the 2006-07 season.
