'''Mathieu Chouinard''' (born April 11, 1980) is a Canadian former professional [[ice hockey]] [[goaltender]] who played one game in the [[National Hockey League]], with the [[Los Angeles Kings]] during the [[2003–04 NHL season|2003–04 season]]. The rest of his career, which lasted from 2000 to 2006, was spent in the minor leagues. He was selected by the [[Ottawa Senators]] 15th overall in the [[1998 NHL Entry Draft]], and after failing to agree to a contract re-entered the draft, and in [[2000 NHL Entry Draft|2000]] was again selected by the Senators, 45th overall.

== Career ==
As a youth, Chouinard played in the 1994 [[Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament]] with a [[minor ice hockey]] team from the Mille-Îles area of [[Laval, Quebec]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|title=Pee-Wee players who have reached NHL or WHA|year=2018|website=Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament|access-date=2019-02-10}}</ref>

Chouinard compiled a 104-60-13 record with the [[Shawinigan Cataractes]] and was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the first round (15th overall) of the [[1998 NHL Entry Draft]]. By 2000, unable to agree to terms on a contract with the Senators, he instead opted back into the NHL draft. Hoping for a fresh start with a new organization, Chouinard was instead selected once more by the Senators, this time in Round 2 (45th overall) of the [[2000 NHL Entry Draft]].

Chouinard spent three seasons in the Senators' organization, winning the [[Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award]] (shared with [[Martin Prusek]] and [[Simon Lajeunesse]]) during the [[2001–02 AHL season|2001–02]] [[American Hockey League]] season. He signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Kings in July, 2003

Chouinard made his one NHL appearance on February 29, 2004, when the Los Angeles Kings faced the [[Mighty Ducks of Anaheim]] at the [[Arrowhead Pond]]. Midway through the third, forward [[Steve Rucchin]] scored to give the Ducks a 6–3 lead. Starter [[Cristobal Huet]], was pulled and Chouinard completed the game, stopping two shots he faced.
