Grant Jacobsen

Grant Jacobsen (born March 4, 1983 in Neepawa, Manitoba) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player, currently playing for the Texas Brahmas in the CHL. Jacobsen began his career at junior level icing for the Regina Pats, playing at Western Hockey League level. In his first season 1998–99, Jacobsen would play in just three games, but would establish himself as a regular player the next season, 1999–2000. In 56 games the young centreman would score 14 points, helping the Pats into the playoffs, where he would manage to score his first post-season points with 2 assists in 7 games.

Jacobsen would stay with the Pats for the next two seasons, 2000–01 and 2001–02 as despite being drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, the Canadian would fail to win a contract. Each year his point production would increase though, and each season the Pats would make the playoffs although each time they were eliminated in the conference quarter final. A change would come midway through the 2002–03 season, with Jacobsen moving to play for the Kamloops Blazers, again of the WHL. Jacobsen would continue to be a reliable scorer, totalling 24 points in 29 regular season games for the Blazers. He would re-sign with the Blazers for the season after, and in 71 games would score 51 points, showing his skill as a playmaker. The Blazers would make the playoffs but lose in the conference quarter final.
