Julius Nättinen (born 14 January 1997) is a Finnish professional ice hockey forward. He is currently playing with JYP Jyväskylä of the Finnish Liiga. He was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2nd round, 59th overall, in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Nättinen played as a youth in his native Finland and made his Liiga debut playing a solitary game with JYP Jyväskylä during the 2013–14 Liiga season.[1]

On July 16, 2015, Nättinen was signed to a three-year entry level contract with the Anaheim Ducks.[2] He left Finland after the draft to continue his development playing major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League after he was selected by the Barrie Colts, 51st overall in the CHL Import Draft in 2015.

After his rookie season in the OHL with the Colts in 2015–16 and having scored 71 points in just 52 games, Nättinen was traded by the Barrie to fellow junior club, the Windsor Spitfires on June 26, 2016.[3]

In his first North American professional season, Nättinen was assigned to the Ducks American Hockey League affiliate the San Diego Gulls, for the duration of the 2017–18 campagin. Unable to find his scoring touch, Nättinen produced just 4 goals in 55 games. Following the Ducks 2018 training camp, Nättinen was among the first round of cuts and rather then return to AHL, opted for a mutual release from his contract with the Ducks on September 24, 2018.[4]

Following the termination of his NHL contract, Nättinen returned to his original Liiga club, JYP, securing a three-year contract on September 25, 2018.[5]
