Career

Jean-Jacques Daigneault began his career as a hockey player with the Voisins de Laval in the Canadian Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec , where he was active in the 1981/82 season. Daigneault was then two years with the Chevaliers de Longueuil under contract, in which he reached 97 points in 80 games. But he spent most of the time with the Canadian ice hockey association Hockey Canada , with whose team he was preparing for the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo . There he finished fourth with the team. It was the only international tournament he took part in in his career. During the 1984 NHL Entry Draft , he was selected in the first round in tenth position by the Vancouver Canucks .

He managed to establish himself very quickly in the Canucks' NHL squad, so he played a total of 134 games in the following two years between 1984 and 1986 and scored 57 points. In early June 1986, the Canucks transferred him to the Philadelphia Flyers for a draft pick . The defender also received many missions with the Flyers, but also had to play some games with their farm team at the time, the Hershey Bears .

In November 1988, the Flyers gave him in exchange for Scott Sandelin to the Canadiens de Montréal . There the Canadiens first pushed him into their farm team, the Canadiens de Sherbrooke . After he had established himself there, he was part of the regular squad of the Canadiens from 1990 to 1995, with whom he won the prestigious Stanley Cup in the 1992/93 season . In early November 1995 the Canadiens transferred him to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Pat Jablonski . After 37 games with the Blues and four scorer points, the next change followed. The Blues gave him for a draft pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins , in which he completed 83 games and reached 33 points. In February 1997 he moved to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim , where he was able to establish himself as a defender, but was transferred to the New York Islanders a year later .

Neither the Islanders nor the Nashville Predators could Daigneault prevail in the team; In 1998 the transfer to Phoenix followed. In the Phoenix Coyotes he was able to deny the following two years as a regular player before he moved again within the NHL and joined the Minnesota Wild . For this he only played one NHL game and otherwise played exclusively with their farm team, the Cleveland Lumberjacks , in the International Hockey League . Jean-Jacques Daigneault ended his long career in Switzerland at EHC Biel . After a few games in National League B , he finally ended his active career in 2002.

Daigneault then began his coaching career. First he filled the post of assistant coach with the Phoenix Roadrunners from ECHL during the 2005/06 season . From the beginning of the 2007/08 season , the Canadian worked in the same position under head coach Ken Gernander at the Hartford Wolf Pack and Connecticut Whale in the American Hockey League . Before the 2012/13 season , he was hired as an assistant coach at the Canadiens de Montréal, a position he subsequently held until the end of the 2017/18 season. Since the 2018/19 season he has been employed as an assistant coach at the San Antonio Rampage in the AHL.
