Career

Guénette first played in his junior years from 2001 to 2003 with the Halifax Mooseheads in the Québec Major Junior Hockey League . They had selected him in the QMJHL Entry Draft 2001 in the eighth round in 123rd place. After only 35 appearances in his rookie season , the striker played a good second QMJHL year with 87 points in 72 games. In addition, they reached the final series for the Coupe du Président , in which the Mooseheads were subject to the Hull Olympiques in seven games. In June 2003 Guénette left the Mooseheads and moved to league rivals Cape Breton Screaming Eagles together with Jean-François Cyr , Marc-André Bernier and Alexandre Picard . In return, the Mooseheads received the first-round voting rights in Cape Breton in the QMJHL Entry Draft in 2004 and 2005 . After just one year, the attacker returned to Halifax in June 2004 with Marc-André Bernier and Alexandre Picard, while the Screaming Eagles again received the first right to vote in the 2004 QMJHL Entry Draft , with which they selected James Sheppard . Guénette played the last season as assistant captain of the team before moving to the professional field in 2005.

Although the French-Canadian was selected in the seventh round in the seventh round in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Vancouver Canucks from the National Hockey League , he did not make the leap into the NHL or the American Hockey League . Thus, Guénette moved in the summer of 2005 to the ECHL for the Columbia Inferno , where he spent the 2005/06 season. The Inferno served the Canucks this season as a so-called farm team . In his first professional season he reached 42 points in 68 games before he went to the Victoria Salmon Kings in the summer of 2006 , as the Canucks had changed their cooperation partner. The Canadian then spent the 2006/07 game year with the Alaska Aces in the ECHL, as he had been transferred from Vancouver to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Zack Fitzgerald .

After his contract in St. Louis expired, Guénette signed a one-year contract with SG Pontebba from the Italian A1 series in July 2008 , with which he moved to Europe for the first time . In the 2008/09 season he got 43 scorer points in 49 games and was the top scorer within the team. In June 2009 he finally joined the Diables Rouges de Briançon from the French Ligue Magnus . With these he won his first national title with the Coupe de France . He was also elected to the Ligue Magnus All-Star Team. In May 2010 he extended his expiring contract in Briançon for one year. Nevertheless, he left the club three months later in August and moved to league rivals Dragons de Rouen , with whom he won both the Coupe de France and the French championship title in 2011 . In January 2012 the Dragons won the IIHF Continental Cup .
