Assistant video coordinator Pierre-Paul Lamoureux is in his third year on the Fighting Sioux staff.
Lamoureux came to UND after concluding his playing career in 2008-09 at the University of Manitoba, where he was named the Bisons Rookie of the Year. The previous season, Lamoureux played one year with Tri-City of the USHL, where he was an assistant captain.
Prior to that, Lamoureux enjoyed a three-year career (2004-07) with the Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League. A defenseman, Lamoureux played in 181 games in his three seasons with Red Deer under two-time Stanley Cup champion and current Calgary Flames head coach Brent Sutter. In 2005-06, Lamoureux received the Rebels' Players' Player Award and also received the team's Rex Turple Scholastic Player of the Year Award. In 2006-07, Lamoureux served as an assistant captain.
Before joining Red Deer, Lamoureux played for Bismarck of the NAHL in 2003-04 and helped lead the Bobcats to a Borne Cup as NAHL playoff champions. Lamoureux and the Bobcats went on to advance to the national championship game.
A native of Grand Forks, Lamoureux comes from a family of extensive hockey bloodlines. His brother, Mario, is a senior forward for the Fighting Sioux. His sisters, Monique and Jocelyne, are junior forwards with UND's women's hockey team and both won silver medals for the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics. His brother, Jacque, was a Hobey Baker Award finalist at Air Force. His oldest sibling, brother Jean-Philippe, was a standout goalie at UND from 2004-08 and split the 2010-11 season with the AHL's Abbotsford Heat and the ECHL's Utah Grizzlies.
Both of Lamoureux's parents were student-athletes at UND. His mother, Linda, was a swimmer, while his father, Pierre, was a goalie from 1979-82 and won a pair of NCAA championships.
In June 2010, Lamoureux was selected as a coach for the USA National Development Select-16 Camp in Rochester, N.Y.
Lamoureux is currently working toward his bachelor's degree in business management with a minor in sports business and will graduate in 2012.
