Raphaël Lavoie (/ˈlævˈwɑː/ la-VWAH;[1] born September 25, 2000) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player for the Henderson Silver Knights of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted 38th overall in the second round of the 2019 NHL entry draft by the Edmonton Oilers, for whom he made his NHL debut in 2023.
Playing career
[edit]Amateur
[edit]Lavoie played junior hockey with the Halifax Mooseheads and Chicoutimi Saguenéens of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) between 2016 and 2020. He was a second-round draft pick of the Edmonton Oilers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.[2][3]
Professional
[edit]On March 20, 2020, the Oilers announced they had signed Lavoie to a three-year entry-level contract.[4] Lavoie would take part of the Oilers preseason training camp the following September and on September 22, he was assigned to Väsby IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan.[5] On March 27, 2021, following the conclusion of Väsby's season, Lavoie and fellow Oilers prospect, Philip Kemp, were both assigned to the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League (AHL).[6]
After playing three seasons with the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League (AHL), Lavoie played his first National Hockey League (NHL) game on November 4, 2023, in a 5–2 loss to the Nashville Predators.[7][8]
Ahead of the 2024–25 season, Lavoie was claimed off waivers by the Vegas Golden Knights on October 7, 2024.[9] The following day, Lavoie was placed on waivers by Vegas, and was subsequently re-claimed by Edmonton on October 9.[10] However, Edmonton waived Lavoie again a day later; Vegas then re-claimed him on October 11, assigning him to the AHL Henderson Silver Knights shortly afterwards.[11]
