While Habs fans are familiar with him, it’s especially the Laval Rocket fans who have gotten to know him better in recent years.

Gabriel Bourque Announces His Retirement

He made this announcement in the last few hours on CIEL FM Rivière-du-Loup, wrapping up his career with a total of 103 points in 413 games in the National Hockey League.

He also added 169 points in 364 career games in the American Hockey League.

He can truly be proud of his journey, which started with the Nashville Predators in 2011. (Bourque was drafted in the 5th round in 2009 by the Tennessee organization.)

Over the last three seasons, he collected 28, 31, and 11 points in 67, 66, and 43 games with the Laval Rocket. He also did a tremendous job with the young players of the organization.

What an athlete and what a great individual he has been for the Tricolore!
