He previously played in the National Hockey League for the Montreal Canadiens, Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, Ottawa Senators, Atlanta Thrashers and the Nashville Predators.

Playing career[]

As a youth, Sarault played in the 1985 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.[1]

Sarault was drafted 61st overall by the Canadiens in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft. From July 18, 2008, he played for German team ERC Ingolstadt in DEL after previous spells with EHC Basel, SC Bern, Genève-Servette HC and HC Davos in the Swiss NLA league from 2002 to 2008.[2] Sarault has also participated for Team Canada in the Spengler Cup.[citation needed]

After initially starting the 2009–10 season with lower professional league team Rivière-du-Loup CIMT in the LNAH, Sarault left for Europe on December 16, 2009, signing for the remainder of the season with Vienna Capitals of the Austrian Erste Bank Hockey League.[3] After returning to Rivière-du-Loup for a further two seasons, Sarault was traded at the draft to fellow club the Cornwall River Kings for the 2012–13 season on June 17, 2012.[4]

In the off-season Sarault lives in Moncton, New Brunswick and plays occasionally with the Moncton Puck Wackers hockey club in the city's summer men's league, with his son Chris.[citation needed]

Coaching career[]

He joined the staff of Swiss club Lausanne HC as an assistant in 2014 and was promoted to the head coaching position during the 2017-18 season after the sacking of Dan Ratushny.[5] On February 8, 2018, Sarault was relieved of his duties after five straight losses.[6]

On January 22, 2021, Sarault was named head coach of EHC Visp in the Swiss League (SL).[7]

Personal life[]

His daughter Courtney Sarault is a short track speed skater who made her World Cup debut in 2018, earning a silver medal in her first race final.[8]
