Christian Lucien Laflamme (born November 24, 1976) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman. He played parts of eight seasons in the National Hockey League between 1996 and 2004.

Biography

As a youth, Laflamme played in the 1989 and 1990 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from Rive-Sud.[1] Laflamme was selected in the second round of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, 45th overall, by the Chicago Blackhawks, after a successful junior career in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.[2]

Laflamme started his NHL career with the Blackhawks before being dealt to the Edmonton Oilers in a trade that saw Boris Mironov join the Blackhawks.[3] Laflamme spent less than a calendar year in Edmonton before being traded to the Montreal Canadiens.[4] After two seasons in Montreal with limited playing time, Laflamme signed as a free agent with the St. Louis Blues, where he split time between the NHL and the American Hockey League.[5] [6]
