Sebastien Bisaillon (born December 8, 1986) is a Canadian ice hockey player, currently playing for Grenoble in the France Ligue Magnus. He was last seen in the National Hockey League during the 2006-07, as a member of the Edmonton Oilers. Bisaillon made a name for himself in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), scoring 35 goals as a defenseman with the Val-d’Or Foreurs in the 2005-06 season. Although he went undrafted, his time in the QMJHL earned him a contract with the Oilers organization.
During the 2006-07 season, his last year with Val-d’Or, Bisaillon was re-called to Edmonton on an emergency basis and appeared in two games. He finished with no points and a minus-1 rating before being sent back to the Foreurs for the remainder of the year. Following his four-year stint in the juniors, Bisaillon split the next two seasons between the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Springfield Falcons and the ECHL’s Stockton Thunder. He left briefly to play one year in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) for the Kassel Huskies before returning for one year to play with the Hamilton Bulldogs and Wheeling Nailers.
Unfortunately, Bisaillon failed to garner any interest from NHL clubs and returned to Europe, this time to play in Ligue Magnus, the top-ranked French league. After capturing his first French Championship with Briançon and playing one year with Angers, Bisaillon found a permanent home with Grenoble. In seven seasons, he’s captured two more French Championships and one French Cup Championship, along with leading the league in goals among defensemen in 2019.
