History
2008-09: In his second year of playing for the Rimouski Oceanic, Fournier more than doubled his rookie year point totals. In 66 games with the team he managed to score 28 points.
2009-10: In his third season with Rimouski, Fournier scored 13 goals and 37 assists for 50 points in 58 games. He added 76 PIMs during the regular season. In 12 playoff contests, Fournier scored 2 goals, 10 assists for 12 points.
2010-11: Saw his numbers drop a bit in his fourth year as a member of the Rimouski Oceanic. Fournier scored 12 goals and 32 assists for 44 points through 57 games. He was able to score a goal and an assists during 4 games in the post-season.
Talent Analysis
Talented offensively, the problem for Fournier is that he is a defenseman first and foremost, but sometimes he does not play like one. Able to make quick decisions with the puck and move it well, he sometimes struggles in his own end, especially when under pressure. A valuable tool on the power play, he would benefit tremendously if he can get larger and stronger on his skates in the coming years.
Future
Fournier will look to turn pro in the 2011-12 season, competing for a job in Grand Rapids training camp.
