Pascal Rhéaume (born June 21, 1973) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach and former player who played nine seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL). He currently serves as an assistant coach with the Bridgeport Islanders of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Playing career

As a youth, he played in the 1985, 1986 and 1987 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from Charlesbourg, Quebec City.

Originally undrafted into the National Hockey League (NHL), Rhéaume played for the New Jersey Devils, St. Louis Blues, Chicago Blackhawks, Atlanta Thrashers, New York Rangers and Phoenix Coyotes over the course of nine seasons between 1997–2006. His greatest individual performance came while member of the Thrashers on January 19, 2002, whereas, during a game versus the Florida Panthers, Rhéaume scored four goals and registered an assist for a career high of five points.

On August 5, 2008, Rhéaume signed a minor-league contract with the Devils to return for a fourth stint with the organization, having previously won a Calder Cup with American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate Albany River Rats in 1995 and a Stanley Cup in 2003 with New Jersey.

Coaching career

Rhéaume began his coaching career as an assistant coach with the Drummonville Voltigeurs in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) for the 2010-11 season. He was assistant coach of the QMJHL's Sherbrooke Phoenix for the 2012-13 season, and became head coach of the Sherbrooke Cougars of the Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League (QMAAA) for 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons.

On July 8, 2015, Rhéaume was announced as an assistant coach to the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League (AHL), the top affiliate of the Minnesota Wild. He then returned to the QMJHL as an assistant coach with the Phoenix on September 26, 2016.

Rhéaume was announced as the head coach of the Val d'or Foreurs on May 24, 2018. He was fired from the position on February 24, 2020; he learned of his own firing via social media.

On July 14, 2021, he was announced as an assistant coach of the Trois-Rivières Lions in the ECHL. Rhéaume was named general manager and head coach of the Lions on June 22, 2023 following the firing of predecessor Marc-André Bergeron. However, just a few short weeks later, Rhéaume announced that he would be leaving the Lions organization to assume the position of assistant coach with the Bridgeport Islanders, the AHL affiliate of the New York Islanders.

Personal life

He is the younger brother of Manon Rhéaume, the first woman to appear in an NHL preseason game with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 1992. His daughters, Logane and Alexane, played collegiately for the Montreal Carabins and Mercyhurst Lakers respectively. Similarly, his son, Nick, is a junior with the Northeastern Huskies of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
