In the 2009–10 season, Bordeleau signed an AHL contract to return to Lake Erie, and alongside fellow enforcer Josh Aspinland, Bordeleau carried the duties with his notable size as the Monsters enforcer. He played a professional high 60 games and recorded 106 penalty minutes to mark his first professional season in which he remained with the one team.[6]
Upon re-signing with the Monsters prior to the 2010–11 season, Patrick was invited on a try-out to the Monsters National Hockey League affiliate, the Colorado Avalanche, training camp on September 15, 2010.[7] Bordeleau continued with the Avalanche throughout the pre-season and impressed to score a goal against the Dallas Stars in a 2-1 defeat on September 24, 2010.[8] With an injury to Avalanche enforcer, David Kočí, Bordeleau remained until he was among the final cuts for Colorado's opening night roster and returned to Lake Erie on October 3, 2010.[9] Bordeleau remained with the Monsters for the duration of the season, and recorded career high 12 points in 72 games. On January 20, 2011, Bordeleau broke Lake Erie's franchise record for most penalty minutes which was previously 213 set by Mitch Love in 2007–08.
On June 9, 2011, he was signed to his first NHL contract with a one-year, two-way contract with the Colorado Avalanche of the NHL. After an early cut in the following Avalanche training camp, Bordeleau was again entrusted as the Monsters enforcer for the 2011–12 season, legitimizing himself as one of the AHL's premier heavyweights.[10]
Bordeleau was re-signed by the Avalanche to a one-year contract on June 16, 2012.
On June 5, 2013, Bordeleau was signed to a three-year contract extension to remain with the Avalanche.[16] In the following 2013–14 season, he would appear in all 82 games and posted a career high 6 goals and 11 points, whilst leading the team in hits for a second consecutive season.[17]
In the 2014–15 season, Bordeleau's streak of 102 games played with Colorado would come to a halt after it was revealed Bordeleau received off-season back surgery and was expected to miss the opening three months of the campaign.[18] After missing the first 31 games of the season, Bordeleau was activated and made his season debut against the Buffalo Sabres on December 20, 2014.[19] During the contest Bordeleau suffered a fractured kneecap which ruled him out from the remainder of the season.[20]
At the conclusion of his contract, having not appeared with the Avalanche in the 2015–16 season, Bordeleau left as a free agent. On August 24, 2016, Bordeleau opted to sign abroad, agreeing to a one-year deal for the 2016–17 season with Welsh club, the Cardiff Devils of the EIHL.[21] After one season in the EIHL, Bordeleau signed a one-year contract to play with Saint-Georges of the LNAH.[22]
Personal
Following struggles with the breakdown of his marriage and gambling debts post NHL career, Bordeleau was arrested and detained in Bordeaux Prison, on February 18, 2020. He was later sentenced to five months and 160 hours of community service for defrauding his ex stepfather-in-law of $63,000. He also pleaded guilty to criminal harassment and breach of condition.[23]
