Undrafted mini-mite (5’7″ 165lbs) forward Jean-Michel Daoust(62) signed his 1st NHL contract with Minnesota in the summer of 2010 after a breakout season with their AHL affiliate Houston Aeros.
Unfortunately the 2010/2011 season didn’t go as well for him. He put up only a little more than half his point scoring production from the previous year and decided to look towards Europe, Germany’s Straubing Tigers specifically for 2011/2012.
Having watched him played throughout most of his pro career starting in 2005 with Danbury Trashers of the UHL, then a Kelly Cup with Cincinnati Cyclones and onto the AHL with WBS Pens and Houston, we wish him all the best and hope he makes a speedy return to North American hockey.
