Pierre Crinon (born 2 August 1995) is a French professional ice hockey player who is a defenceman for Brûleurs de Loups of the Ligue Magnus.

Playing career

[edit]

On 30 November 2025, Crinon punched Ducs d'Angers goaltender Matt O'Connor and received a seven-game suspension.[1]

On 18 March 2026, Crinon was suspended eight games for slew-footing Briançon forward Kohei Sato during a quarter final matchup on 14 March 2026.[2]

International play

[edit]

He represented France at the 2019 IIHF World Championship. He also represented France at the 2026 Winter Olympics, where he made one assist.[3] In a controversial move, after engaging in a fight with Tom Wilson during their 10–2 loss against Canada, Crinon was suspended for the remainder of the Olympics by the French Ice Hockey Federation. In defence of their action, the federation cited Crinon's "provocative behaviour upon leaving the ice," saying it ran counter to "the Olympic spirit."[4][5] The suspension was called "the most idiotic thing I have seen so far at the Olympics" by Canadian hockey commentator Jamie McLennan,[6] while Cronin's fellow French national team player Hugo Gallet said that it was unfair and "biased by something that happened before".[7]

Contrary to the reaction of the French Federation, the Globe and Mail newspaper in Canada called the fight a "bonding moment" at the Olympic Games.[8] The head of the French federation later admitted that the suspension was due in part to their frustration that the fight had dominated the news coverage of Olympic hockey in France, rather than the more global results of the French team, which had not appeared in the Olympics in more than twenty years and had then failed to reach the rounds in which the team could compete for a medal once again.[9]
