Jake Merens Facts
Agency
Premium
Merens is an undersized winger with dynamic skating ability and high-level creativity. He’s exceptional at using his hands to deceive defenders and open up routes for playmaking. Merens attacks defensive triangles and has the speed to blow by opponents if he has a lane. -Joey Padmanabhan, EP Rinkside

Responsible and effective winger. He holds his positions well in all three zones, fills the lane, and steps up to make the small plays well.
