Career

Bélanger began his career in 1987 in the Canadian Junior League Québec Major Junior Hockey League with the Bisons de Granby . In his second season he was the top scorer of the team with 103 points in 67 games. After another season in Granby in which he was able to improve again, he signed a contract with the Montréal Canadiens from the NHL in 1990 , which initially only used him in their farm team at the time , the Fredericton Canadiens . After Bélanger was one of the top players in the team there, he got the chance to prove himself in the NHL for the first time in the 1991/92 season . Overall, however, he only completed four games for the Montreal Canadiens.

Another season with the Canadiens followed, before he signed a contract as a free agent with the then newly founded Florida Panthers in the summer of 1993 . In Sunrise , Bélanger developed into a service provider. In his first year with the Panthers, he made his breakthrough in the NHL. The 1.80 m tall and 77 kg heavy right-handed shooter scored 50 points in 70 games. After two more successful years with the Panthers, he was drawn to the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers .

In 1997 he moved for five games in the Swiss National League A for SC Herisau and then returned to North America. There he first played for various farm teams in the American Hockey League and the International Hockey League . In the 1999/00 and 2000/01 seasons , Bélanger wore the jersey of the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Islanders .

After he finally no longer hoped for a permanent commitment in the NHL, he decided to switch to the Hamburg Freezers in the German Ice Hockey League during the 2002/03 season . Despite a good performance, he only stayed there until the end of the season and then joined the Frankfurt Lions . In Frankfurt , the then 34-year-old was able to convince again with 54 points in 50 games. However, his one-year contract was not extended and so Bélanger then played two years in the Swiss National League B for EHC Biel .

Then Bélanger moved to the Canadian ice hockey league LNAH to the CRS Express de Saint-Georges . For the 2008/09 season he signed a contract with the Poutrelles Delta de Sainte-Marie , then he returned to his previous club in Saint-Georges. After four more seasons in the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey , the Bélanger ended his career in the summer of 2013.
