Biography edit

Pelletier was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and grew up in Saint-Lambert, Quebec.[1] As a youth, he played in the 1992 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Richelieu Champlain minor ice hockey team.[2]

Pelletier was drafted out of Cornell University by the Philadelphia Flyers in the second round of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft with the 30th overall pick.[citation needed] He played the 1997–98 season with the Rimouski Océanic of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and also played for Team USA at the 1998 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.[citation needed]

Pelletier joined the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms in 1998–99. He also appeared in one NHL game that season for the Flyers, a 0-5 loss against the Ottawa Senators.[citation needed] He made brief stops in the NHL in two other seasons, appearing in two games for the Phoenix Coyotes in the 2002–03 season and four more in the 2003–04 season.[citation needed]

At the end of November 2006, Pelletier signed a contract with Adler Mannheim of the DEL to replace Robert Müller, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After the season, he signed a one-year-contract with the Hamburg Freezers.[citation needed]
