The Vienna Capitals and leaders Jérémy Grégoire are expanding their cooperation. The contract of the 29-year-old Canadian, originally valid for another season, was prematurely extended by another season. The Wiener will also represent the crowd favorite on the ice in the 2026/27 season. Grégoire has played 90 competitive games for the Viennese in two seasons, in which the right shooter marked 69 points (34 goals + 35 assists).
Jérémy Grégoire completed his second season in the Vienna Capitals jersey in the past season. The Canadian scored 16 goals in 37 basic passes, which is a personal best for the 29-year-old at a professional level. With his yield, Grégoire was the second best scorer of the Viennese, and his 26 basic passage points meant third place. In the past pre-playoff, the Canadian scored the winning goal in the second game of the “Best of Three” series against Hydro Fehérvár AV19. Grégoires was interrupted in the federal capital through a season at the Ilves, Finnish Club. The season 2022/23 was the first to complete the Canadian with the Vienna Capitals. At that time, Grégoire marked 42 points in a total of 50 season games.
Before his engagement in Vienna, Grégoire was active in the American Hockey League for years. The 29-year-old played a total of seven season for the Texas Stars, Tucson Roadrunners, Milwaukee Admirals and St. John’s IceCaps or Laval Rocket. Grégoire, who was selected in 2013 in the sixth round of the NHL drafts by the Montreal Canadiens, played at the highest junior level in the QMJHL for Baie-Maieau Drakkar and Chicouutimi Saguenéens. The attacker was awarded Marcel Robert Trophy in 2014 and 2015 and awarded the Guy Lafleur Award of Excellence in 2014. Both awards are awarded to junior players who best combine academic and sporting achievements. In August 2012, Grégoire won the Ivan Hinka Memorial Tournament, the now Hinka Gretzky Cup.
