Jordan Marvin Sigalet (born February 19, 1981) is a Canadian ice hockey coach and former goaltender who played one game in the National Hockey League for the Boston Bruins in 2006. In 2004, while playing at Bowling Green University, Sigalet was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. He continued playing until 2009 when he retired and turned to coaching. In 2014 he joined the Calgary Flames as their goaltending coach. His brother Jonathan also played in one NHL game with the Boston Bruins.

Playing career

=University=

Sigalet played collegiate hockey at Bowling Green University. On February 27 and 28 2003, he played two games against Northern Michigan University. He stopped 66 shot attempts combined. Sigalet ended the 2003 NCAA hockey season in a playoff loss.

As a junior, Sigalet was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in March 2004 but only announced his condition in December.{{cite web |title=Jordan Sigalet and Jonathan Girard sign one-year contracts |url=https://www.nhl.com/bruins/news/jordan-sigalet-and-jonathan-girard-sign-one-year-contracts/c-446984 |website=NHL.com |accessdate=June 11, 2018 |date=August 10, 2005}} Many fellow hockey players were inspired by him: the entire Nebraska-Omaha hockey team autographed a jersey and sent it to him. Players from University of Michigan and from Boston College also sent him signed items. In addition, he became the first goalie to hold the position of team captain at Bowling Green.

During the 2005 NCAA season, Sigalet blocked 92 percent of the shots taken against him. He was voted captain and named a Hobey Baker finalist.{{cite web |last1=Deziel |first1=Shanda |title=How a life-changing diagnosis led one goalie to an unexpected NHL job |url=https://www.macleans.ca/facebook-instant-articles/how-a-life-changing-diagnosis-led-one-goalie-to-an-unexpected-nhl-job/ |website=macleans.ca |accessdate=June 11, 2018 |date=June 1, 2017}}

Despite his diagnosis, Sigalet was drafted by the Boston Bruins after his senior year.{{cite web |last1=Burnside |first1=Scott |title=Playing hockey with MS diagnosis |url=http://www.espn.com.au/nhl/story/_/id/8693710/nhl-life-hockey-player-multiple-sclerosis |website=ESPN.com |accessdate=June 11, 2018 |date=November 30, 2012}} Sigalet made his NHL debut on January 7, 2006 against the Tampa Bay Lightning, as a backup for Andrew Raycroft. Raycroft sprained his ankle in the third period, letting Sigalet play the final 43 seconds.

On November 16, 2007, during a game with the Worcester Sharks, Sigalet collapsed on the ice due to Multiple Sclerosis.{{cite news |last1=Colageo |first1=Mike |title=Providence Bruins goalie Sigalet collapses on ice |url=http://www.southcoasttoday.com/article/20071117/SPORTS/711170373 |accessdate=June 11, 2018 |publisher=The Standard-Times |date=November 17, 2007}} He was placed in rehab for a month to recover.

Sigalet joined the Vienna Capitals on 25 January 2009 and left Gazovik Tyumen.{{cite web|url=http://www.vienna-capitals.at/pages/posts/jordan-sigalet-gibt-debFCt-gegen-graz-99ers970.php|title=Offizielle Webseite der Vienna Capitals - Vienna Capitals }} {{dead link|date=April 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
