Jean-François Damphousse (born July 21, 1979) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He is currently the goaltender coach and director of hockey administration for Dieppe Commandos, a team in the Maritime Junior A Hockey League.

Playing career

Damphousse was born in Saint-Alexis-des-Monts, Quebec. As a youth, he played in the 1992 and 1993 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with minor ice hockey teams from Central Mauricie, and Sainte-Foy, Quebec City.[1]

Damphousse was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the first round of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft with the 24th overall pick.[citation needed] After playing three years of junior hockey with the Moncton Wildcats of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and a brief stop with the Augusta Lynx of the ECHL, Damphousse moved up to the Devils' American Hockey League affiliate, the Albany River Rats. In the 2001–02 NHL season, Damphousse made his only National Hockey League appearances, playing in six games with the Devils.[citation needed]

In the seasons following his brief NHL experience, Damphousse bounced around the AHL, playing for the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks, Saint John Flames and Hamilton Bulldogs.[2] Most recently, Damphousse appeared in 53 games for Quebec Radio X of the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey in the 2004–05 season.[citation needed]
