Career

Cloutier played junior hockey for the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League from 1991 to 1994, scoring 237 points and 106 goals while also serving as team captain. He was drafted 70th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft and spent the next four seasons playing in the American Hockey League for the Adirondack Red Wings but never managed to make Detroit's main lineup. He would go on to play seven NHL games for the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1998–99 NHL season. [1]

Cloutier joined the Coventry Blaze of the United Kingdom's Elite Ice Hockey League in 2006 and helped the team win the Elite League title. In 2008, he won his second Elite League title with the Blaze. He then became the head coach of the Corpus Christi IceRays in the Central Hockey League before being let go in February 2009. Afterwards, he returned to the Elite League and became player-coach for the Hull Stingrays. Cloutier became a popular player for the Stingrays and as such his number 83 was retired by the Hull Pirates, the successor team for the Stingrays following their liquidation in 2015.

Cloutier began his junior coaching career with the Bradford Rattlers in 2014-15 and helped the team to a 31-11-0 record. Cloutier served four years as head coach and general manager of the Severn Stallions in the Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League beginning in 2017-18. During his time as head coach, the team earned back-to-back Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League Championships in 2018 and 2019. [2]

Cloutier currently coaches youth hockey for the Corpus Christie Ice Rays in Texas. [3]
