Jacob Perreault (born April 15, 2002) is a Canadian professional ice hockey winger for the Maine Mariners of the ECHL while under contract with the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League (AHL). He was selected in the first round, 27th overall, by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2020 NHL entry draft.[1]

Playing career

On November 6, 2020, Perreault was signed by the Anaheim Ducks to a three-year, entry-level contract.[2] While playing primarily for the Ducks' AHL affiliate San Diego Gulls the next two seasons, he made his National Hockey League (NHL) debut on January 8, 2022 in a 4–1 loss versus the New York Rangers.[3]

On March 7, 2024, Perreault was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for forward Jan Myšák.[4] He was assigned to Montreal's AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket, after the trade.[5] Perreault was again assigned to Laval for the beginning of the 2024–25 AHL season.[6] However, due to a nagging injury, he was reassigned to the Trois-Rivières Lions, the Canadiens' ECHL affiliate, on October 23 for conditioning purposes.[7][8] After appearing in five games with the Lions, Perreault was recalled to Laval on November 6[9] and was again reassigned to Trois-Rivières one month later on December 6.[10] The same day, he was traded to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenceman Noel Hoefenmayer.[11]

Personal life

Perreault was born on April 15, 2002, in Montreal,[12] while his father, Yanic, was playing for the Montreal Canadiens as a centre.[13] Growing up, Perreault and his siblings Jeremy, Liliane and Gabe all played ice hockey and worked on their shot in the basement of the family home.[14]
