Alain R. Gabriel Côté (born April 14, 1967) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player and inline hockey player.

Early life

Côté was born in Montmagny, Quebec. As a youth, he played in the 1979 and 1980 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from Montmagny.[1]

Career

Côté was drafted in the second round (31st overall) by the Boston Bruins in the 1985 NHL Entry Draft. His first season in the National Hockey League (NHL) was 1985–86. He played a total of 36 games in his rookie year and had no goals and six assists. Those 32 games marked the most games that he would play in a single NHL season as he spent most of his career playing in the minors and elsewhere.[citation needed]

Côté played for five different NHL clubs during his career. He played for the Boston Bruins (1985–86 to 1988–89), Washington Capitals (1989–90), Montreal Canadiens (1990–91 to 1991–92), Tampa Bay Lightning (1992–93) and Quebec Nordiques (1993–94). During that span, he played a total of 119 games in which he scored 2 goals and 18 assists for 20 points. He also racked up 124 penalty minutes. As well as the NHL, Côté has played in the QMJHL, AHL and IHL. He has also played hockey in Europe and Japan.[citation needed]

In 1996, Côté played 26 games of inline hockey for the Oakland Skates. He had 4 goals and 15 assists for 19 points.[citation needed]
