SHORT BIO: Born on September 14, 1970 in Gatineau, Quebec, Soucy was signed as a free agent by the Chicago Blackhawks in 1993. His pro hockey career lasted 10 seasons from 1993-94 to 2002-03 and saw him play in the WCHL, WPHL, UHL, ECHL, CHL, IHL, AHL and the NHL.
He made his NHL debut on March 31, 1994 vs the Washington Capitals. In his third game as the dressed backup, he briefly replaced Jeff Hackett in goal. In three minutes and twenty-one seconds of action, he faced no shots and was replaced by Hackett again thereafter. Nevertheless, for that 3:21, he was at the top level of pro goaltending and that alone is a huge accomplishment in any hockey career. He spent the remainder of his career in the minor-pros and retired in 2003. Thereafter, he briefly took up coaching with St. Michael's College. |
