Peter Quenneville
Canadian forward drafted by Columbus Blue Jackets in 2013.
Last updated
Peter Quenneville, a Canadian forward born March 9, 1994, got his start in junior hockey with the Sherwood Park Crusaders of the AJHL before moving to the USHL to play for the Dubuque Fighting Saints. His play there caught the attention of NHL scouts, leading to the Columbus Blue Jackets selecting him in the seventh round, 195th overall, at the 2013 NHL entry draft. After spending time in the ECHL with the Rapid City Rush, Quenneville took his career overseas, eventually becoming the top scorer in Germany's DEL2 during the 2021–22 season with Lausitzer Füchse. He later played in Norway for Storhamar Ishockey before returning to Finland's Liiga, where he currently suits up for Ilves.
Background
Quenneville's path to professional hockey began in the Alberta Junior Hockey League with the Sherwood Park Crusaders. He then jumped to the United States Hockey League, joining the Dubuque Fighting Saints, a move that put him on the radar for the NHL draft. In 2013, the Columbus Blue Jackets picked him in the seventh round, 195th overall. After two seasons primarily in the ECHL with the Rapid City Rush, Quenneville headed to Europe on June 19, 2021, signing a one-year deal with Lausitzer Füchse of Germany's DEL2.
That 2021–22 season was a breakout: he led the entire league in scoring. He followed up with a two-year contract in Norway's top tier with Storhamar Ishockey. On July 30, 2024, he opted to return to the Finnish Liiga, signing a one-year contract with newly promoted club Kiekko-Espoo. He now plays for Ilves in the same league.
