Player Name: Sebastien Primeau
1. Early Life Born in Montreal, Quebec on June 23rd he lived out of a modest apartment with a single mother who stayed at home trying her best to provide for him the best she could. He has been watching the game of hockey before being 10 with his father bringing him to Canadiens' games at the Bell Center. There is where he met the legend of Jean Beliveau and it changed his life. It's the reason why he wears the number 4 on his jersey as well. 2. Playing Career Sebastien Primeau started his hockey career in Midget Triple A hockey for the Laval-Montreal Royal Rousseau before being drafted by the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in the QMJHL where he had good success. The Detroit Falcons signed him as a free agent in Season 38 to play backup to Evgueni Marmaladov. Primeau spent three full seasons as a member of the Detroit Falcons helping them to go into the playoff dance each time, even going to the Four Star Cup finals once in Season 39 in a losing cause against West Kendal Platoons. He then in season 42 took main goalie position with Minnesota which he still is today five seasons later making their way to the playoffs every season but one ( Not counting S47 ) and having progressed up to the Conference Finals 3 times in a row. Primeau holds the best overall record for goalies of S46's playoffs despite the Chiefs not making it to the Finals. 3. International Play At the end of Season 39 Primeau requested a transfer from Canada considering the team had a vast amount of talented goaltenders which would have kept him from playing for several years. He joined Sweden which he considered a challenge considering the team had a dire need of a lead goaltender. Sebastien spent the last 8 seasons with the Swedes playing as the lead netminder during 6 of them helping them make it past the Round Robin round only twice. 4. Personal Life Sebastien during his off time enjoys traveling and watching movies, his passion for traveling is what in part got him to move to the Sweden National team. Time in the country allowed him to find the love of his life, Andrea, who he is still with today. Rumors are she is expecting! Primeau is a video game enthusiast collecting old games and consoles for his private gallery. He is also an avid formula one fan never missing his home grand prix of Canada on Circuit Giles-Villeneuve. 5. Honors, awards, and achievements SHL - Season 39 Challenge Cup Champion with Minnesota Chiefs SMJHL - Season 40 Tom Corcoran Trophy Winner with Detroit Falcons 6. Controversy After the elimination of Sweden by Great Britain in the middle round of Season 46 a publication appeared in which Primeau expressed his discontent regarding his situation with the Swedish National Team. Having not played a single game in two consecutive seasons acting as second to Kata Wilde the Montreal native expressed his frustration for not having been used for a single game and receiving no response from Sweden's management team when asked if he was going to see any ice time after he has been in net for team Yellow and Blue from Season 39 to 44. Rumors are that there might be a change of rules when it comes to transferring to allow players on National teams that have not been playing for two consecutive seasons to be able to transfer teams once more which is something Sebastien is seriously looking into doing despite his enjoyment of being part of that organization. However, being ignored by management is downright insulting. ![]() Say his name and he appears!
