Laurent Brossoit, born on March 23, 1993, in Port Alberni, British Columbia, Canada, began his hockey journey in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Edmonton Oil Kings. Standing at 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 204 pounds, Brossoit showcased his potential early on, leading his team to a WHL Championship in 2012. His performance earned him recognition and eventually led to his selection by the Calgary Flames in the sixth round of the 2011 NHL Draft.
Brossoit is known for his calm demeanor and strong positional play between the pipes. His height gives him an advantage in covering the net, and he's particularly adept at reading the play and anticipating shots. Brossoit's lateral movement and quick reflexes make him a reliable backup goaltender capable of stepping up when needed.
In the NHL, Brossoit has made significant contributions as a backup goaltender, most notably with the Winnipeg Jets. During the 2018-2019 season, he posted a career-best save percentage of .925 over 21 games. His ability to perform under pressure was further highlighted in the 2021-2022 season with the Vegas Golden Knights, where he provided crucial support in the absence of the starting goaltender.
