Shawn Beauchamp-Lalonde (born March 10, 1990 in Ottawa , Ontario ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who has been under contract with Severstal Cherepovets in the Continental Hockey League since May 2020 .

Career

North America (2005-2013)

Growing up in Orleans , a suburb of Ottawa, Lalonde began ice hockey in Navan with the Cumberland Barons. At the age of 16 he was selected by the Belleville Bulls in the first round of the OHL Priority Draft . In his very first season, the defender was the rookie with the best points , due to his performance he was appointed to the U18 national team of Canada for the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament together with the later NHL players Jordan Eberle and Steven Stamkos . There the team missed the medal they wanted to win. For the time being, it was Lalonde's only appearance in Canada's jersey. In the following season he confirmed his consistently good performance. In the play-offs, unlike the previous year, he was one of the leading players on his team. At the Memorial Cup 2008 , the Canadian finished third with the Bulls. After another satisfactory season, in which the play-offs were reached, Lalonde was in his fourth season in Belleville after the departure of PK Subban to the Canadiens de Montréal the sole leader in defense. However, the team did not find each other and Lalonde ended the year with a -21 in the plus / minus rating, although he had his best season in terms of points.

After his team ended the season after the main round, he signed a 3-year contract with the organization of the Chicago Blackhawks and played the rest of the season with their AHL farm team, the Rockford IceHogs . The hockey franchise of the Blackhawks had selected him in the NHL Entry Draft 2008 in the third round in a total of 68th place. He scored his first goal in a 4-3 victory over the Peoria Rivermen . After the IceHogs were eliminated in the play-offs, he took part in the training camp of the Canadian U20 national team for the 2010 U20 Junior Ice Hockey World Championship . Ultimately, the defender was not in the final squad.

His first full season in the American Hockey League gave him trouble. The Canadian was particularly prone to errors in the defensive area, which resulted in a -16 in the plus / minus rating. The then 20-year-old wanted to assert himself above all against the more experienced, older players, so he was involved in four fist fights, which he mostly lost. In the following season, the defender stabilized in the defensive area, but this had a negative impact on his offensive potential. The Canadian finished the main round with just 13 points in 64 games. In the 2012/13 season Lalonde made his debut for the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL. On April 27, 2013 he was called up in the 1: 3 away loss to the St. Louis Blues . The trained defender was also used on the wings. He was on the ice for a total of 14:47 minutes, and Lalonde was on the ice when the Blackhawks only hit Ben Smith . It should be his last game in the American elite class for the time being.

Europe (since 2013)

After his contract with the organization of the Blackhawks had expired, he moved to Europe for the 2013/14 season and signed a one-year contract with the Eisbären Berlin , the then reigning champions of the German ice hockey league . Although the season was not very successful for his new club, Lalonde was able to convince and was one of the most attacking defenders in the league with 12 goals this season.

Nevertheless, there was no extension of his contract in Berlin, but, as it already indicated in the course of the season, Lalonde moved to the top Swedish ice hockey league for the top club Färjestad BK for the 2014/15 season . He stayed there for only one year until Färjestad missed the playoffs and announced in March 2015 that they would part ways with him.

In April 2015, it was announced that the offensive defender was moving back to the DEL for the Cologne Sharks for the 2015/16 season, with whom he had signed a two-year contract. In the two seasons 2015/16 and 2016/17 he was the most offensively successful defender of the Haie with more than 30 points each, so his contract was extended to 2019 in 2017. On February 27, 2018, however, Lalonde was removed from the Kölner Haie squad due to disciplinary reasons and its contract termination at the end of the season was announced.

Shortly before the start of the 2018/19 DEL season , Lalonde was signed by the Nürnberg Ice Tigers due to many injured players.

In the following two years he played in the Continental Hockey League for Admiral Vladivostok and Severstal Tscherepowez .

Style of play

Lalonde is a flexible defender who is usually in the right place in tricky situations, he prefers the body-hugging game and is known as a team player. Eisbären Berlin manager Peter-John Lee says about him: “Lalonde is a young player with a lot of potential. He's a good skater who reinforces us in power play with his right firing hand and works solidly in defense. "
