Jocelyn Marcel Guèvremont (born March 1, 1951 in Montreal , Québec ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player and coach who played 611 games for the Vancouver Canucks , Buffalo Sabers and New York Rangers in the course of his playing career between 1967 and 1980 National Hockey League has contested on the position of defender .

Career

Guèvremont played during his junior years between 1967 and 1968 for a year with the newly founded Saints de Laval in the Ligue de hockey junior du Québec , before moving to the Canadien junior de Montréal in the Ontario Hockey Association for the 1968/69 season. The defender spent three extremely successful years with the Junior Canadiens . At the end of the 1968/69 and 1969/70 seasons he won the double from the J. Ross Robertson Cup and Memorial Cup with the team . The 1970/71 season ended with the French-Canadian finally winning the Max Kaminsky Trophy as the best defender in the OHA and in the league's First All-Star Team. After completing the game year, he was also third overall in the NHL Amateur Draft in 1971 by only a year before in the National Hockey League captured Vancouver Canucks selected. He was next to Bobby Lalonde and Rich Lemieux one of three players in Montreal who had been drawn by the Canucks in one of the first three rounds of the draft.

At the Canucks, the 20-year-old was immediately used at the beginning of the 1971/72 season . The rookie collected 51 points scorer in 75 games - at the time an NHL record for defenders in their first league year. His game earned him a post-season nomination for the squad of the Canadian national team for the 1972 Summit Series against the USSR . However, he was not deployed there, also because he left the team early due to the illness of his wife who was traveling with him during his stay in Moscow in order to have her treated in Canada. In the following two playing years in Vancouver Guèvremont was still a solid point collector. His defensive play improved very slowly, however, as the Canucks lacked an experienced player in this position to convey this to Guèvremont. Shortly after the beginning of the 1974/75 season he was therefore transferred to the Buffalo Sabers together with Bryan McSheffrey . In return, Gerry Meehan and Mike Robitaille moved to Vancouver.

In Buffalo, the French-Canadian's game improved significantly. He continued to be a profitable scorer from the blue line, but his better defensive game was clearly reflected in his plus / minus statistics. The defender stayed in Buffalo until the end of the 1978/79 season before he was transferred to the New York Rangers . There Guèvremont was only used sporadically, so that he was sent to the farm team , the New Haven Nighthawks , in the American Hockey League during the season. Since he made a chronic shoulder injury public in this context, he did not find a new job in the NHL for the 1980/81 season . He then ended his active career in the summer of 1980 at the age of 29.

After the end of his career, Guèvremont sought a career as a coach. In the 1982/83 season , he was in charge of the Voltigeurs de Drummondville from the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec and the Cornwall Royals of the Ontario Hockey League the following year . A hiatus of several years followed before the Canadian was hired as a coach by the Ottawa Loggers from Roller Hockey International in the 1995 season .
