Harold Druken (born January 26, 1979) is a Canadian senior-level ice hockey centre for the Deer Lake Red Wings of the Newfoundland West Coast Senior Hockey League (NWCSHL).
Currently a free agent, he has played professionally most recently for EHC Basel of Switzerland's Nationalliga A in the 2005–06 season. Druken was drafted in the second round, 36th overall, by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. He received the majority of his NHL playing time with the Canucks, while spending most of his professional career in the minor leagues with the American Hockey League (AHL) affiliates of the Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes.
Druken enjoyed a prolific three-year Ontario Hockey League (OHL) career, spent with the Detroit/Plymouth Whalers franchise, during which time he was named to the OHL All-Rookie Team in 1997 and OHL Second All-Star Team in 1999. His most productive season in the OHL was a 58-goal, 103-point effort in 1998–99, which was good for seventh in league scoring. He represented Canada at the 1999 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, where he won a silver medal and became life-long friends with Roberto Luongo.
