Desnoyers played major junior hockey in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) with the Moncton Wildcats and Halifax Mooseheads. He was selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the fourth round, 135th overall, of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. [1]

Following his first season with the Mooseheads in 2020–21, resulting in a selection to the QMJHL Second All-Star Team, Desnoyers was signed by the Flyers to a three-year, entry-level contract on May 5, 2021. [2]

Returning for his final junior season in 2021–22, Desnoyers was selected as captain of the Halifax Mooseheads, and notched a career season best with 42 goals and 46 assists for 88 points in 61 regular season games, placing second on the team in scoring. [3]

Desnoyers began his professional career in the 2022–23 season assigned to the Flyers AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Producing offensively with the Phantoms in a top-line role, Desnoyers received his first recall to the Flyers on February 25, 2023. [4] He immediately made his NHL debut that night with the Flyers, featuring in a 7–0 defeat to the New Jersey Devils. [5] [6]

Personal life

Desnoyer's father, David Desnoyers, played hockey collegiately and semi-professionally exclusively within Quebec. [7] His younger brother Caleb also plays at the midget level within Quebec. [8]
