Playing career [edit]

He was selected in the sixth round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, 182nd overall, by the New York Islanders. Gervais was named captain of the Acadie-Bathurst Titan of the QMJHL as an 18-year-old even though there were many veteran players. In his 19-year-old season he hurt his knee at the December tryout camp for team Canada's under 20 team. He missed the rest of the season.

He has a brother, Maxime, who will play for the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in the QMJHL. He was selected as the Nassau County Athlete of the Year Award in 2009.[1]

On June 25, 2011, he was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning for future considerations.[2] Two days later Gervais was signed by Tampa Bay to a one-year contract.[3]

After one season in Tampa Bay, Gervais signed a two-year contract worth $1.65 million with the Philadelphia Flyers.

Gervais is the childhood best friend of Flyers forward Max Talbot. He is viewed as a depth defenseman, who could likely fill in as the Flyers’ sixth blue liner. He played in just 50 games last year [2011-2012] with the Lightning. Gervais has never finished an NHL season as a plus or even player in his 7 years in the NHL.[4]
