Career

ice Hockey

Born in Montréal , Brisebois began his junior career in 1986 with the Montréal-Bourassa in the Québec Amateur Athletic Association . In his only season there, he scored 34 points in 39 games. From the season 1987/88, the defender was active for three years in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec with the Titan de Laval . Brisebois was one of the best offensive defenders in the league during this period. After 44 points in his rookie season he improved the following year to 65 and in his third year at 88. During this time he was in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round to a total of 30 out drafted . In addition, he won the Coupe du Président with the Titan in 1989 and 1990 and was elected to the Second All-Star Team of the LHJMQ. Before the beginning of the 1990/91 season, Brisebois moved within the LHJMQ to the Voltigeurs de Drummondville , where he continued the performance he had shown in Laval. With 61 points scorer he was again very successful. In addition, he was appointed to the First All-Star Team of the LHJMQ and received the Trophée Émile Bouchard as the best defender in the league. This entitled him to participate in the election for CHL Defender of the Year , in which he prevailed against Chris Snell and Darryl Sydor . In the four years of play in the LHJMQ, the French-Canadian recorded a total of 322 points scorer in 258 games.

After his team left the LHJMQ playoffs, the Canadiens de Montréal brought their former draft election to the National Hockey League . Brisebois impressed so much in the ten games he played that he was firmly integrated into the Canadiens franchise the following season . Although he was mainly used for the Fredericton Canadiens , the Montréals farm team , in the American Hockey League , but also played 26 games for Montréal. He was also used in eleven playoff games. At the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 1993 , he won the prestigious Stanley Cup with the Canadiens . For the 1993/94 season Brisebois was an integral part of the NHL squad. Overall, he remained another twelve years until the end of the 2003/04 season with the Canadiens. He completed his best playing time in the 1997/98 season when he achieved 37 points in 79 games.

Due to the lockout in the NHL season 2004 // 05 , Brisebois left the Habs in summer 2004 and signed a contract with Kloten Flyers from the Swiss National League A on October 13, 2004 . In the 2004/05 season he only went on the ice ten times for the Flyers. Nevertheless, he scored three goals and one assist . For the game year 2005/06 the Canadian returned to North America. He signed a two-year contract with the Colorado Avalanche . In his first season with the Denver team , he set a new personal record with 38 points. The following season was overshadowed by a serious injury to the defender. He only played 33 games because he injured his back in late December 2006. Despite the injury, he found a new employer in his ex-team Canadiens de Montréal for the 2007/08 season . Brisebois received a two-year contract, but was no longer used as regularly and did not shine on the offensive as well as before the injury.

International

Brisebois represented his home country at the Junior World Championships in Finland in 1990 and in Canada in 1991 . The Canadian team won the gold medal in both events. In both years the team was able to win the direct comparison against the USSR with a tie. Brisebois was used in both tournaments in all seven games. In 1990 he scored four points, and seven a year later.

NASCAR

Since Brisebois did not find a new NHL team for the 2009/10 season to sign him, he announced his retirement from active ice hockey on September 24, 2009. The French-Canadian then devoted himself to a career as a racing driver in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series . At the NASCAR Canada Canadian Tire Series NAPA AutoPro 100 2009 on the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve , he finished twelfth after he was 15th in qualifying. Previously, he had already participated in the NASCAR Canada Canadian Tire Series GP3R 100 2009 on the Circuit Trois-Rivières , but ended the race prematurely due to overheating.
