With training camp just around the corner, we are previewing each player on the\u00a0LA Kings<\/a> roster. Up next: Koehn Ziemmer<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Koehn Ziemmer<\/p>\n

Birthdate: December 8, 2004<\/p>\n

Birthplace: Mayerthorpe, Alberta<\/p>\n

Height: 6\u20191<\/p>\n

Weight: 201 lbs<\/p>\n

Position: Right wing<\/p>\n

Shoots: Right<\/p>\n

Draft: 3rd round, 78th overall, 2023 NHL Entry Draft<\/p>\n

2024-25 season<\/p>\n

Koehn Ziemmer was eligible to play in the AHL last year, but the Kings opted to loan him back to the WHL for his final junior season. After missing 0f 2023-24 with an ankle injury and the need to work on his skating, it made sense for him to get back to speed in the WHL. In his final season with the Prince George Cougars, Ziemmer led the team in goals with 37 and posted 71 points in 61 games.<\/p>\n

Known for his goal-scoring prowess, Ziemmer was also fifth on the team in assists (34) and was often used as a second-line centerman, winning 52.1% of his faceoffs. Ziemmer also played in all seven of Prince George\u2019s playoff games and recorded three goals and four assists for seven points.<\/p>\n

He also achieved personal accolades on two occasions during the regular season. He captured the Player of the Week award in November (11\/4-11\/10) and became Prince George\u2019s all-time goal-scoring leader in February.<\/p>\n

Soon after Prince George\u2019s season concluded, Ziemmer would be assigned to the AHL and played three regular-season games for the Ontario Reign, where he went scoreless. He didn\u2019t play in both of the Reign\u2019s playoff games.<\/p>\n

2025-26 outlook<\/p>\n

Ziemmer is another prospect making his way to the professional ranks by joining the Reign. He is the Kings\u2019 second-best forward prospect in the system behind Liam Greentree and is an interesting prospect. He\u2019s got a big body frame with a wicked release and shot deception, and isn\u2019t afraid to play with bite. His skating will need to improve, which has been documented since the Kings drafted him two years ago.<\/p>\n

Although he played center and wing for Prince George, I believe he\u2019ll play on the wing and be developed as one, with his game better suited for that position. Ziemmer, a right-handed shot, can be an option from the left circle or down low in front of the net on the power play as he was in Prince George, and as a second or third line winger at 5v5 for new head coach Andrew Lord.<\/p>\n
