Maxime Comtois (born January 8, 1999) is a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger for the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League (NHL). He previously played with the Anaheim Ducks.

Playing career

Comtois was drafted by the Victoriaville Tigres third overall in the 2015 QMJHL Entry Draft.[1] On June 24, 2017, Comtois was selected in the second round, 50th overall by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. He signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Ducks on March 3, 2018.[2]

Comtois made the Ducks' 2018 opening night roster out of training camp.[3] On October 3, 2018, he made his professional debut in the Ducks' 2018–19 season opener in San Jose and scored his first professional goal in the first minute of the game, on his first shot attempt at goaltender Martin Jones.[4] The Ducks went on to win the game 5–2. Comtois contributed to be amongst the Ducks scoring leaders to start the season, scoring 7 points in his first 10 games before suffering an injury. On his return he was assigned to AHL affiliate, the San Diego Gulls, before he was returned to his junior club, the Drummondville Voltigeurs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) on November 24, 2018.[5]

Following his fifth season within the Ducks organization, as a pending restricted free agent Comtois was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Ducks and was released as a free agent on July 1, 2023.[6] Several months later, on September 12, Comtois signed a professional tryout agreement with the Vegas Golden Knights;[7] he was subsequently released on October 9, after the conclusion of the preseason.[8]

On October 16, 2023, without a NHL contract to begin the 2023–24 season, Comtois opted to continue his career in the AHL by signing a one-year contract with independent club, the Chicago Wolves.[9] Contributing offensively with the Wolves, Comtois was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Carolina Hurricanes for the remainder of the season on March 4, 2024.[10]
