François Méthot (born April 26, 1978 in Montreal , Québec ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who last played for EHC Red Bull Munich in the German Ice Hockey League .

Career

As a junior, Méthot played in the Québec Major Junior Hockey League for the Laser de Saint-Hyacinthe before he was elected 54th in the third round of the 1996 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabers . The winger stayed two years in the QMJHL with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies and the Shawinigan Cataractes before the Sabers brought him to their farm team in Rochester.

The French-Canadian played for the Rochester Americans in the American Hockey League for five years before he decided to move to Europe after a year with league rivals Portland Pirates . The striker moved to the DEL to the Augsburger Panthers , which he left after a year in 2005 for the Nürnberg Ice Tigers . François Méthot was the top scorer for both teams with over 40 points each. From the 2006/07 season he played for Adler Mannheim in the DEL, with which he immediately won the DEB Cup and the German championship . The right-handed shooter was also the team's internal top scorer in the preliminary round and ended up fourth in the DEL.

In May 2011 François Méthot was signed by the Krefeld Pinguine , with whom he signed a contract for the 2011/12 season. After solid performances in the past season, his contract was extended by two years in March 2012 and the attacker was appointed assistant captain for the following two seasons. In the 2013/14 season he only played 33 games in the penguins jersey due to injury and was not able to build on his previously good offensive performance. In December 2014 Krefeld announced the immediate termination of the contractual relationship with Methot without giving any reason.

On December 30, 2014, Methot was signed by EHC Red Bull Munich until the end of the season.
