Jeremy Lauzon's story
Growing up in Val-d'Or, Jeremy Lauzon moved from local minor hockey to the Quebec junior ranks quickly, beginning with the Amos Forestiers in 2012–13 before being taken by the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the 2013 QMJHL draft. Four seasons in Rouyn-Noranda, including a Presidents' Cup in 2016, shaped him into a defensively minded, physical blueliner and put him on NHL scouts' radars.
Boston selected Lauzon in the second round, 52nd overall, at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. He returned to the QMJHL to complete his junior development and signed his entry-level contract in November 2015. Lauzon turned pro with the Providence Bruins in 2017–18, where injuries interrupted his first AHL season but also led to the experience that preceded his NHL debut the following year.
Lauzon first skated in the NHL for Boston on October 25, 2018, and scored his first NHL goal a few weeks later. He spent parts of multiple seasons split between Boston and Providence, then was selected by the Seattle Kraken in the 2021 expansion draft. Seattle traded him to the Nashville Predators in March 2022; Nashville then signed him to a four-year deal in June 2022. During the 2023–24 season Lauzon registered an NHL single-season hits total that set a new mark before it was surpassed a season later. In 2025 he was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights and subsequently extended his contract with the club.
Internationally, Lauzon represented Canada at the 2017 World Junior Championship, where he contributed offensively in key games and helped the team claim the silver medal. On the ice, his game is straightforward: he brings physicality, plays with a short, direct style along the boards and in front of the net, and relies on body contact and positioning to limit opponents and clear his zone.
