- 126 pts in 64 regular season (2009)
- 19 pts in 4 playoff games (2009)
- 20 years old
- never been drafted in the NHL
- 9th overall pick in junior
- RW (lefty)
- 5\' 11\'\'
- 178 pounds

He came out of nowhere this year as a 20 years old player. Never seen him in a game but I saw some hightlight and look great.

A friend of mine is working for the Drummondville Voltigeurs and he sais that since Christmas a LOT (something like 12 differents teams) were scouting him.

He\'s a long long shot ...

By pure accident, I discovered the answer to that one ... and it\'s actually quite funny ...

There\'s also a Yanick (one N) Riendeau, 5\'9\'\'/163 born 1984-10-25, who played for the Voltigeurs 2001-2005 and then went to France. Hockeydb lists him with 2 Ns. The year in France they attributed to the Yannick Riendeau (with two Ns) who signed with Boston was actually the other (one N) Riendeau, who this season played for Strasbourg, finishing 4th in the league in goals and 10th in points.
