Playing career
Carbonneau started his hockey career with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Carbonneau was drafted 44th overall in the 1979 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens, after an incredible 182-point season with the Saeneens. The Canadiens won the Stanley Cup championship in 1985–86, followed by three Frank J. Selke Trophy victories in 1988–1989, 1991–1992. He was a captain of the Canadiens from 1989 to 1990, and they won their second Stanley Cup title against Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings in 1992. In exchange for Jim Montgomery, he was traded to the St. Louis Blues on August 19, 1994. He played for one season before being traded to the Dallas Stars. He won his third Stanley Cup with the Stars in 1998–1999. Carbonneau and the Stars made the Stanley Cup Finals again this season, but the New Jersey Devils defeated them this time. Carbonneau was fired shortly after that.
Carbonneau was one of the more popular Canadiens; fans chanted, "Guy, Guy, Guy." Whenever he touched the puck, he'd be playing for Guy Lafleur (with whom Carbonneau starred from 1982-1985) during his career. He was also one of the Dallas Stars' most admired players. At the Canadiens' last game at the Montreal Forum, he was the ceremonial opening faceoff for the Stars.
