Matthieu Descoteaux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matthieu Descoteaux (b. 23 September 1977 in Pierreville, Quebec) is a professional ice hockey defenceman. He was selected in the first round of the 1996 NHL Entry Draft, 19th overall, by the Edmonton Oilers. Descoteaux played only five games at the NHL level, all with the Montreal Canadiens, and is thus widely viewed as a poor first-round selection.
Descoteaux spent the majority of his career in the AHL, and currently plays in the German Elite League.
[edit] Transactions
- March 9, 2000 - Descoteaux traded from Edmonton to Montreal with Christian Laflamme in exchange for Igor Ulanov and Alain Nasreddine.
