Alexandre Grenier (born September 5, 1991) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. He is currently playing with the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League (AHL). Grenier was selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the 3rd round (90th overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Grenier made his professional debut playing with EC Red Bull Salzburg of the Austrian Hockey League during the 2012–13 season. After 25 games with the Red Bulls, Grenier opted to return to North America, signing an AHL deal for the remainder of the season with the Canucks AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves on January 6, 2013.[1] At the conclusion of the season with the Wolves, Grenier was belatedly signed by the Canucks to a two-year entry-level contract on April 30, 2013.[2]

In his fourth season within the Canucks organization during the 2015–16 season, Grenier's development was rewarded in receiving his first NHL recall on November 18, 2015. He made his NHL debut with the Canucks later that night in a 4-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets at the MTS Centre.[3] On March 14, 2016 Grenier was recalled to the Vancouver Canucks, as Brendan Gaunce had been reassigned to the Utica Comets.

On July 1, 2017, Grenier signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Florida Panthers after he did not receive a contract offer from the Canucks.[4] He was assigned to AHL affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds for the duration of the 2017–18 season, notching a professional high 20 goals in amassing 44 points in 72 games.

Having left the Panthers organization as a free agent, Grenier signed a one-year AHL contract with hometown club, the Laval Rocket, on July 1, 2018.[5]
