David Perron (born May 28, 1988 in Fleurimont, Quebec) is a Canadian ice hockey player. He currently plays for the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League.
He was selected in the first round, 26th pick by the St. Louis Blues in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
Perron went undrafted in two QMJHL Midget drafts. He instead played with the St. Jérome Panthers of the QJAHL. After accumulating 69 points in 51 games in the 2005–06 season, and winning the Rookie of the Year trophy, Perron was drafted by the Lewiston MAINEiacs in the 2006 Midget draft.
Perron had an excellent rookie season in the QMJHL, leading the MAINEiacs in scoring with 39 goals and 83 points in 70 games played. The MAINEiacs won the President's Cup, and participated in the Memorial Cup.
On October 2, it was confirmed he would start the season with the St. Louis Blues after an impressive training camp. His progression has been impressive due to the fact that less than three years before playing his first NHL game, he was still playing at the Midget B level in his hometown of Fleurimont. On November 3, 2007 Perron scored his first career goal against the Chicago Blackhawks.
