Raphael Lavoie's story
In Halifax and Chicoutimi, Raphaël Lavoie spent his formative junior years, skating for the Mooseheads and later the Chicoutimi Saguenéens in the QMJHL from 2016 to 2020. Those seasons provided the competitive stage where he honed his game against his peers and drew the attention of NHL scouts preparing for the 2019 draft.
Selected 38th overall in the second round by the Edmonton Oilers in 2019, Lavoie moved into pro hockey soon after. Edmonton signed him to a three-year entry-level contract on 20 March 2020. He attended the Oilers’ preseason camp that September and was assigned on 22 September to Väsby IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan. When Väsby’s season ended, he was redirected to North America and joined the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League on 27 March 2021.
Lavoie spent three seasons with Bakersfield before making his NHL debut on 4 November 2023 in a 5–2 loss to the Nashville Predators. The autumn of 2024 brought a flurry of waiver activity: Vegas claimed him on 7 October 2024, placed him on waivers the next day, leading to Edmonton re-claiming him on 9 October and then waiving him again; Vegas re-claimed Lavoie on 11 October and assigned him to the Henderson Silver Knights in the AHL. He appeared in his first game for Vegas on 28 January 2025, logging about eight and a half minutes in a 4–3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars.
As a restricted free agent he signed a one-year extension with Vegas on 6 July 2025 and later agreed to another one-year deal on 1 July 2026. Lavoie recorded his first NHL point on 12 October 2026, earning a secondary assist on a Rasmus Andersson goal in a 4–2 defeat to the Minnesota Wild. His path reflects steady progression through junior ranks, AHL seasoning and sporadic NHL opportunities.
