Joël Perrault (born April 6, 1983) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who is currently an unrestricted free agent who plays for Krefeld Pinguine of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).
Playing career
Perrault was drafted by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the 5th round, 137th overall in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. In his last junior year Perrault was the league leading scorer for the Baie-Comeau Drakkar in the QMJHL.
After turning professional, he spent two seasons in the American Hockey League with the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks and played for the Portland Pirates before he was traded to Phoenix for Sean O'Donnell on March 9, 2006.[1]
In the 2006–07 on October 31, 2006 St. Louis Blues claimed Perrault of waivers before being taken back again by the Coyotes on December 19, 2006.[2] Joël also spent parts of the season in the AHL with the San Antonio Rampage and the Blues' minor affiliate Peoria Rivermen.
In 2007–08 Joël split time between the NHL and AHL scoring 17 points in 49 games for the Coyotes. Over the following two seasons, Perrault remained in the Phoenix organization but was unable to establish a permanent role in the NHL, relied on as an offensive contributor with San Antonio.
On May 11, 2010, Perrault signed with Swiss team, EV Zug, of the NLA.[3] With the inclusion of an out clause for NHL interest, Perrault opted out with EV Zug and signed a one-year contract with the Vancouver Canucks on July 1, 2010.[4]
Perrault began the 2010–11 season in the AHL. He played 15 games for the Canucks top affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, before being recalled to the NHL[5] to make his Vancouver debut on November 20, in a 7-1 home game against the Chicago Blackhawks.[6]
On February 28, 2011, he was traded, along with third round pick in the 2012 draft, to the Anaheim Ducks for Maxim Lapierre and MacGregor Sharp.[7]
On May 5, 2011, Perrault again signed in Switzerland, agreeing to a one-year and optional second year contract with the SCL Tigers starting in the 2011–12 season. On November 18 he signed a one-year contract with HC Ambrì-Piotta for the rest of the season.[8]
On July 20, 2012, Perrault signed in Finland, HIFK of the SM-liiga, for the 2012–13 season. Midway through the campaign, Perrault determined his stay in Finland would be a solitary season after signing a contract for the following season with German club, Krefeld Pinguine of the DEL on December 10, 2013.
