2008-09: The net-minder spent the season with Peterborough (OHL), posting a 12-21-2 record with a 3.81 goals against average and a .904 save percentage, not his best numbers but it was a season that gave Missiaen more ice-time.

In 53 games for the Drakkar, who won just 12 games and had the league’s second-worst record, he finished 10-41 with eight of those losses coming in overtime and recorded one shutout. Missiaen finished with a 3.33 GAA and .893 save percentage while facing over 1500 shots. The Rangers signed Missiaen to a three-year, entry-level contract in March 2011.

Backed up by Flyers’ prospect Nicola Riopel, he was 22-16 with three of the losses coming in overtime and had 3 shutouts. Missiaen posted a 2.71 goals against and .916 save percentage as the Road Warriors finished second in the South Division. Missiaen played in one of three playoff games; stopping 29 of 33 shots in a 4-2 loss to Florida in Game Two. Greenville was swept by the Everblades.
2012-13: Missiaen was the backup goalie to Cam Talbot for the Rangers’ AHL affiliate in Connecticut in his second pro season and also spent some time in the ECHL.
