Guillaume Latendresse Biography

Guillaume Latendresse is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on May 24, 1987 in Sainte-Catherine, Quebec, Canada. Guillaume Latendresse (born May 24 27th, 1987) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. He was selected with the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the second round, which was 45th overall in the NHL Entry Draft Then, he was a part of the NHL together with Montreal and The Minnesota Wild and the Ottawa Senators. Latendresse is born in LaSalle, Quebec, but spent his childhood within Sainte-Catherine, Quebec.

In his debut NHL year, Latendresse moved up to the top of the line after forward Chris Higgins suffered an ankle injury. On the 7th of November of 2006, in his debut game on the Canadiens first line, Latendresse struck a shot over goalie Dwayne Roloson to score his first ever NHL score against Edmonton Oilers, 1:04 into the third period. In a press conference following the event, Latendresse was asked about the remarks made by former Canadiens goalie and Hall of inductee Patrick Roy. Just a few weeks ago, Roy had said he believes the sole motive 19-year-old newcomer Latendresse is still associated with the Canadiens is that he’s a Francophone. He suggested that in the event that his surname was “Smith” or “Brown,” Latendresse would be back in the QMJHL. Latendresse was a bit more candid about the issue: “It’s me who’s supposed to be 19, not him,” said Latendresse. “I will act like a man. I’ll leave it to him to act like a child. I don’t know why he’s acting like that. I’ve never spoken to him. He should be delighted by the success of young Quebecers in the NHL instead of making stupid comments.”

Midway through his fourth season in Montreal, Latendresse was traded to the Minnesota Wild on November 23, 2009, for forward Benoît Pouliot. In his first 20 games with the Wild, Latendresse scored ten goals; he had scored only two in his previous 23 games in Montreal.

On October 7, 2010, Latendresse scored the first goal of the 2010–11 season, just 3:33 into the first period, on Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward in Helsinki, Finland. Latendresse’s 2010–11 season was plagued with injuries; he required surgery to repair a sports hernia and a torn labrum in his hip, and he ultimately was forced to miss all but 11 games. At the end of the season, Wild Owner Craig Leipold accused Latendresse of not taking his off-season training regimen seriously, and stated that Latendresse was expected to show up for the beginning of the 2011–12 season in top shape. However, Latendresse played just 16 games for the Wild in 2011–12, suffering from a hip injury and recurring concussion problems.

As of 2005, Latendresse dressed in a topless pose for the gay publication of Montreal, La Voix du Village (“The Voice of the Village”) and caused minor controversy and raising questions about his sexuality in the moment. The agent for Latendresse, Pat Brisson, stated that the client was not aware of the purpose of the magazine that he was being photographed and interviewed for and that he was heterosexual.
