Giroux made his debut with the Flyers in February 2008 and joined the roster full-time midway through the 2008–09 season.[3][4] In 2011, after the trades of Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, Giroux took over the role of the club's first-line centre. He was the club's top point-scorer for seven seasons. In 2012 and 2014, he finished third in the league in point scoring.[5] In 2018, he finished second in the league with 102 points, behind only Connor McDavid.
Early life
Giroux was born on January 12, 1988, in Hearst, Ontario, a Francophone town, and is fluent in both English and French.[6] He is the son of Raymond and Nicole Giroux, and has one sister named Isabelle.[7] Giroux's favourite hockey player growing up was Pavel Bure.[6]
In the summer of 2002, at the age of 14, Giroux and his family moved to

Professional
Philadelphia Flyers (2008–2022)
After a disappointing training camp for the Flyers at the beginning of the 2008–09 season, Giroux was assigned to the team's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms. After acclimatizing to professional hockey, however, things turned around quickly; he was named Rookie of the Month for December for his eight goals and six assists in eight games played. He was then called up to the Flyers after the Christmas break and remained there throughout the rest of the season.[4] On December 31, he recorded his first NHL point by assisting on a Jeff Carter goal in a win over the Vancouver Canucks. He suffered a mild concussion during the next game when Corey Perry of the Anaheim Ducks elbowed him in the head. Giroux finished the game but missed the next five; Perry was suspended for four games.
On January 27, 2009, Giroux scored his first NHL goal against goaltender Tomáš Vokoun and the Florida Panthers in a 3–2 loss. His first Stanley Cup playoff goal came in a 6–3 win in Game 3 of the 2009 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals against Marc-André Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The same game also saw him setting up a short-handed goal when he stole the puck in the corner of the Penguins zone and outworked their backcheck, skating past the back of their net twice protecting the puck while looking for incoming support in the form of Simon Gagné. Giroux ended the 2008–09 season with nine goals and 27 points in 42 games played.[4]

Giroux got off to a slow start once the shortened 2012–13 season began. Missing linemates Jaromír Jagr, who signed with the Dallas Stars during free agency, and Scott Hartnell, who suffered a broken foot during the third game of the season, Giroux registered only seven points through the team's first 13 games.[27] His season turned around once right winger Jakub Voráček, who was also struggling, was placed on his line.[27] From February 12 through the end of the regular season, Giroux was the fourth-most productive player in the League, scoring ten goals and 30 assists for a total of 40 points during that span.[27] He finished with 48 points in 48 games and new linemate Voráček finished with a career-high 22 goals. The team as a whole struggled, however, and the Flyers missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2006–07 season. On July 5, 2013, Giroux signed an eight-year, $66.2 million contract extension to stay in Philadelphia.[28] The entire Flyers team struggled out of the gate, as Philadelphia won just one of their first eight games. Giroux was no exception, and had a difficult start to the 2013–14 season. In his first 15 games, he put up just seven assists and failed to tally a goal. Eventually, the team's struggles ran their course and the Flyers' and Giroux's play seemed to revert to normal.
Giroux's year took another turn when it came down to the Olympic roster selection. He was one of the biggest names left off of the Canadian team.[29] But since that point, Giroux picked up his play. As of April 12, he was third in the league in points and the Flyers were in third place in the Metropolitan Division. At the conclusion of the season, Giroux was nominated for the NHL's Hart Trophy and the Ted Lindsay Award, both of which he lost to Sidney Crosby.[30][31]
During the 2015–16 season Giroux required surgery to repair hip and abdominal muscle injuries in May 2016.[32] The following year, Giroux ended the season with 14 goals, which concluded a 3 season streak of 20-plus goal seasons. Giroux said the lack of numbers was due to him still recovering from the surgery in 2016.[33]
Things began turning upwards for Giroux during the
On January 26, 2021, in a match against the
On December 10, 2021, Giroux recorded his 334th career power play point with an assist on
On March 17, 2022, Giroux played in his 1,000th NHL game, a 5–4 home victory over the Nashville Predators. Mere days before the trade deadline, it was widely assumed that this would be his final game with the team. He was presented with a silver stick at a pre-game ceremony by Bobby Clarke, and named the first star of the game despite not registering a point.[52] He became the 40th NHL player to play 1,000 games with a single team, and only the second Flyer, after Clarke.[53]
Florida Panthers (2022)
On March 19, 2022, Giroux was traded to the Florida Panthers along with a 2024 fifth-round pick, Connor Bunnaman, and German Rubtsov in exchange for Owen Tippett, a 2024 first-round draft pick, and a 2023 third-round pick.[54] He made his debut with the Panthers in a March 24 road game against the Montreal Canadiens, registering two assists in a 4–3 victory.[55] He scored his first goal with his new team in an April 5 game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, where the Panthers rallied to a 7–6 victory in overtime after a 5–1 deficit in the second period.[56] Giroux finished the regular season with 3 goals and 20 assists in 18 games, while the Panthers finished first in the league and won the Presidents' Trophy.[57]
Entering the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs as one of the favourites, the Panthers faced the Washington Capitals in the first round. Giroux played a pivotal role in the series-clinching win in Game 6, leading the team past the first round for the first time in a quarter century.[58] In the second round matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Panthers were swept in four games, bringing the postseason run to an end. Following the defeat, Giroux said that he was contemplating re-signing with the Panthers.[59][60]
Ottawa Senators (2022–present)
On July 13, 2022, Giroux signed a three-year, $19.5 million contract with the Ottawa Senators.[61] He was announced as an alternate captain on September 19, 2022.[62] Giroux recorded his 300th career goal in a November 5, 2022, game against his old team, the Flyers.[63] On April 10, 2023, the Senators would play their last home game of the season against the Carolina Hurricanes. Late in the first period, Giroux would thread a pass to teammate Tim Stützle, who would bury the 35-year-old's 1,000th career point. Giroux's teammates swarmed him in a celebration of the special moment. Giroux would finish the game with two goals and one assist in a 3–2 victory.[64] Giroux racked up a career high in goals (35) in his first season with the Senators.[65]

During the 2012–13 lockout, Giroux also made a voice appearance in the 2012 TV film, The Magic Hockey Skates (based on the book of the same name).[69]
On July 1, 2014, Giroux was arrested by police in Ottawa after twice grabbing the buttocks of a male police officer while intoxicated inside an Ottawa nightclub.[70] Though he reportedly spent the night in jail, no charges were laid.[71]
In December 2016, Giroux became engaged to his longtime girlfriend Ryanne Breton[72] and the two married in July 2018.[73] Their son Gavin was born on August 26, 2019.[74] The couple's second son, Palmer, was born August 5, 2021.[75]
In May 2023, Giroux was given a sponsor's exemption to play in the professional golf PGA Tour Canada event Commissionaires Ottawa Open and was also the tournament's honorary chair.[76]
