Jocelyn Lemieux (born November 18, 1967 in Mont-Laurier , Québec ) is a retired Canadian ice hockey player . The winger played over 600 games for seven teams in the National Hockey League between 1986 and 1998 , most of them for the Chicago Blackhawks .
Career
Jocelyn Lemieux ran in his youth from 1984 for the Voisins de Laval in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec (LHJMQ), the highest junior league in his home province. With this team, which traded as Titan de Laval from the following year , the attacker significantly improved his personal statistics for the 1985/86 season; he scored 125 points scorer in 71 games and was consequently elected to the LHJMQ First All-Star Team . The St. Louis Blues therefore selected him in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft in tenth position, for which he ran up at the beginning of the 1986/87 season in the National Hockey League (NHL). Lemieux only spent two years in Missouri, the second year of which he was largely out due to injury. In August 1988 he was delivered to the Canadiens de Montréal with Darrell May and a second-round vote in the NHL Entry Draft in 1988 , the Blues received Sergio Momesso and Vincent Riendeau in return . In the Canadiens Lemieux played briefly together with his brother Claude , but was mainly used by their farm team , the Canadiens de Sherbrooke , in the American Hockey League (AHL). As a result, he was transferred to the Chicago Blackhawks in January 1990 in exchange for a third-round vote in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft .
In Chicago, the winger finally established himself in the league and completed over 300 NHL games for the team in the next four and a half years. He reached the 1992 Stanley Cup final with the Blackhawks , but they were clearly defeated by the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-0. In March 1994, Lemieux was released together with František Kučera to the Hartford Whalers , who in return sent Gary Suter , Randy Cunneyworth and a third-round vote in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft to Chicago. Due to injuries, he came with the Whalers only a few missions and was transferred to the New Jersey Devils in December 1995 , which gave Jim Dowd for it , with the teams also exchanged two second-round voting rights. A little later, the Calgary Flames became his third team in the 1995/96 season, which in February 1996 received Tommy Albelin and Cale Hulse in addition to him and in return gave Phil Housley and Dan Keczmer to New Jersey.
As a result, his expiring contract in Calgary was not extended, which Lemieux for the 1996/97 season initially moved to the Long Beach Ice Dogs in the International Hockey League (IHL). In March 1997 he returned to the highest league in North America, the Phoenix Coyotes signed him as a free agent . In the Coyotes, the striker was on ice in 30 games the following year, but continued to play for the Ice Dogs and the Springfield Falcons in the AHL. After the 1998/99 season, in which he came to only 25 IHL missions in Long Beach due to a shoulder injury suffered in July 1998, he declared his active career over. Overall, Lemieux had played 658 games in his NHL career and scored 179 points scorer.
Since 2010 he has been working as an expert and analyst at the Réseau des sports .
