Career
[change | change source]Before playing in the NHL, Dumont played 4 seasons with the Val-d'Or Foreurs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). He was drafted with the 3rd overall pick by the New York Islanders in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft. Dumont had a contract dispute with the Islanders and they traded him and a 5th round draft pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for Dmitri Nabokov in 1998.[1]
Dumont played 72 games over two seasons with the Blackhawks and in March 2000, he was traded along with Doug Gilmour and a draft pick to the Buffalo Sabres for Michal Grosek.[2] Dumont played 5 seasons with the Sabres and was named their captain in January 2004.[3]
After the Sabres rejected Dumont's $2.9-million arbitration award, he signed a two-year, $4.5-million contract with the Nashville Predators on August 29, 2006.[4] On June 30, 2011, the Predators bought out Dumont's contract and he became an unrestricted free agent for July 1.[5] He retired from playing professional ice hockey in 2013. Since retiring, Dumont is currently a member of tag HC Nashville which is based in Nashville, Tennessee.
