Peter Quenneville (born March 9, 1994) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who is currently playing for Kiekko-Espoo in the Liiga.

Playing career

[edit]

Quenneville played junior hockey initially with the Sherwood Park Crusaders in the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) before moving to the United States Hockey League to play with the Dubuque Fighting Saints. Quenneville was drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the seventh round, 195th overall, in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

After two seasons playing primarily in the ECHL with the Rapid City Rush, on June 19, 2021, Quenneville again embarked on a career abroad, agreeing to a one-year contract with German second-tier club, Lausitzer Füchse, of the DEL2.[2] In the 2021–22 season, he was top scorer of the DEL2. He then signed a two-year contract with the Norwegian first-tier team Storhamar Ishockey.[3]

Following two seasons in Norway with Storhamar, Quenneville opted to return to the Finnish Liiga in signing a one-year contract with newly promoted club, Kiekko-Espoo, on July 30, 2024.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

His younger brother John was drafted 30th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft,[5] and his youngest brother David Quenneville [fi] was drafted 200th overall in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.[6] Former NHL head coach Joel Quenneville is his first cousin, once-removed.[7][8] New York Islanders defenceman Johnny Boychuk is his uncle by marriage.
