Playing career

Amateur

Lamoureux started his career playing three seasons with the Lincoln Stars, in the United States Hockey League, a junior ice hockey league.

He then played four years of college hockey at the University of North Dakota (2004–08), including a senior season that saw him earn a Hobey Baker Award nomination while leading the Fighting Sioux to the NCAA Frozen Four. Lamoureux is second all-time in school history with a 2.14 GAA, .920 save percentage and ten shutouts. [1]

Professional

Lamoureux spent one season with the Alaska Aces of the ECHL, where he was named the league's goaltender of the year. [2] He also set an ECHL record with eight shutouts. That year, the Aces advanced to the Kelly Cup Championship where they were later defeated in 7 games by the South Carolina Stingrays. [3]

On July 30, 2009, Lamoureux was signed by the Buffalo Sabres to a one-year contract for the 2009–10 season. [4] He was assigned to the Sabres AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates, for the duration of the season and in 31 games posted 14 wins. Immediately preceding the Pirates' elimination from the Calder Cup playoffs, Lamoureux was recalled to the Sabres reserve squad for the Stanley Cup playoffs that year. He was not re-signed by the Sabres organization and went on to sign with the Calgary Flames AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Heat, on July 22, 2010. [5]

On May 12, 2012, after his debut season abroad in the EBEL with Slovenian team, HDD Olimpija Ljubljana, Lamoureux joined Austrian competitor club, EC VSV. [6] After four seasons with EC VSV, Lamoureux spent three seasons with the Vienna Capitals and three seasons with EC Salzburg before returning to EC VSV for a further three seasons, retiring from hockey at the conclusion of the 2025 ICEHL season. [7]

Coaching and administrative career

Lamoureaux has worked as a goaltending coach for his company, JPL Goaltending, [8] [9] and coached with Austria's U-18 team prior to his retirement from playing. On June 26, 2025, Lamoureux was announced as the Director of Player Personnel & Office Operations for his alma mater, North Dakota. [8]

Family

The Lamoureux family has six siblings who all play ice hockey at an elite level. Jean-Philippe, born 1984, is the oldest child in the family. His younger brother, Jacques, born 1986, previously played professional hockey in the ECHL with the Alaska Aces. His next brother, Pierre-Paul, born 1987, played three years of defence in the Western Hockey League with the Red Deer Rebels. The next brother, Mario, born 1988, was an NCAA forward and captain at the University of North Dakota and then played professionally in the ECHL, AHL and in Europe. His twin sisters Jocelyne and Monique won gold medals with Team USA at the 2018 Winter Olympics. [10]
