Career
Blanchard began his career in the Canadian Junior League OHL in 1994 with the Ottawa 67’s . After his third season he was selected as the best points defender of his team in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings in the 4th round in 99th position. A year later, the left-handed shooter signed his first professional contract and played the following three years both in the East Coast Hockey League with three teams and in the American Hockey League with the Lowell Lock Monsters and in the International Hockey League with the Grand Rapids Griffins and the Manitoba mosses .
For the 2001/02 season, the Canadian decided to move to Europe, where he accepted a contract with the London Knights in the British Ice Hockey Superleague . The two years in England were followed by two years in Italy at SV Ritten . Blanchard spent the 2005/06 season in Switzerland with the ZSC Lions . He then moved back to North America and played again in the ECHL, this time with the Augusta Lynx . In addition, the defender played 13 games for Portland Pirates in the AHL and was able to convince with 9 points.
In 2007 Blanchard signed a contract with Iserlohn Roosters from the German Ice Hockey League , of which he was initially engaged as a try-out player for ten days, but was licensed after three days due to positive training impressions. For the 2008/09 season , the Canadian moved to league rivals Hamburg Freezers , and then after just one year to the Frankfurt Lions . After the Lions dissolved in July 2010, Blanchard played for the Nürnberg Ice Tigers in the 2010/11 season . Since there was no contract extension in Nuremberg, Blanchard initially remained without a club in the next season until he was taken back under contract by the Iserlohn Roosters in December 2011. In August 2012 he signed a contract with the Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg . After Blanchard had remained rather colorless in the season and could not provide any impetus, he was not offered a new contract at the end of the season.
Sean Blanchard is married with two children.
