Phillip Danault
Phillip Danault (born February 24, 1993) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a forward for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the first round, 26th overall, by the Chicago Blackhawks of the 2011 NHL entry draft. Danault has also previously played for the Los Angeles Kings.
Danault was born on February 24, 1993, in Victoriaville, Quebec, to parents Alain and Michelle. His mother works as a nurse while his father previously served as the public address announcer for the Victoriaville Tigres of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).
Danault played minor hockey with Hockey Bois-Francs and was named captain for his team across various age groups.
Joining the Trois-Rivières Estacades of the Ligue de hockey Midget AAA du Québec (QMAAA) for the 2008–09 season, Danault provided offensive prowess to help his team reach the final of that year's Jimmy-Ferrari Cup. Thereafter, he was selected ninth overall by his hometown Victoriaville Tigres in the annual Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) draft.
Establishing new career-highs for production during the 2010–11 QMJHL season, Danault was recognized for his efforts with a number of league accolades. He was named Player of the Game during the 2010 Subway Super Series against the Russian juniors and was selected to represent Team Cherry at the 2011 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game In January 2011, Danault ranked 23rd amongst North American skaters for the upcoming NHL entry draft as determined by the league's Central Scouting Bureau. He was also appointed captain of the Tigres following the departure of predecessor Philip-Michael Devos. Capturing the Guy Carbonneau Trophy as the QMJHL's best defensive forward, he was selected in the first round of the 2011 NHL entry draft (26th overall) by the Chicago Blackhawks.
After participating in the Blackhawks' training camp in September 2011, Danault rejoined the QMJHL ranks for the 2011–12 season. Recording 18 points through his first 19 games, he was selected to represent Team QMJHL in the 2011 Subway Super Series. Danault ultimately finished the season setting new career-highs with 53 assists and 71 points through 62 contests. Upon elimination from the President's Cup playoffs, Danault joined the Blackhawks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs in March 2012. Collectively, he tallied two assists and ten penalty minutes over his seven-game stint with the IceHogs.
Midway through the ensuing 2012–13 season, Danault was traded to the Moncton Wildcats in exchange for forward Gabriel Gagné and various draft picks. Upon joining the team, he was immediately placed on their top line with Dmitrij Jaškin and Ivan Barbashev. In their first eight games together, the trio combined for 22 goals. After the Wildcats were eliminated from the 2013 postseason, Danault was again reassigned to Rockford for the remainder of the AHL season.
Attending training camp with the Blackhawks in September 2013, Danault was reassigned to the AHL for the 2013–14 season. While often playing lower in the IceHogs' lineup, he recorded six goals and 20 assists over the course of his first full professional campaign.
