Playing career
editJunior
editJaillet was an unheralded goaltender playing in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, going undrafted in his first year of eligibility despite his team reaching the league championship. Jaillet remained with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons for two more seasons before joining the college ranks.
College
editJaillet joined the program in Denver for the 2014–15 season, going 15–8 while splitting time with sophomore Evan Cowley.[1] By the end of the season, however, Jaillet was in net for both of Denver's games at the 2015 NCAA Tournament and was establishing himself as the #1 goaltender for the team. The two goalies continued to share the crease in 2015–16 with Jaillet taking the biggest share and by the start of 2016–17 Jaillet had firmly established himself as the starting goaltender. 2017 also coincided with Denver's first 30-win season in 12 years and the program's 8th National Title. Jaillet finished 3rd in the nation in goals against average despite not recording a single shut out all season. He was named as the national goaltender of the year, receiving the Mike Richter Award for his stellar play, but somehow was not named a First Team All-American, ending up on the West Second Team instead. Despite Denver losing several players, including the Hobey Baker Award-winning Will Butcher, Jaillet performed nearly as well in his senior season, allowing his g.a.a. to rise only by 0.04 points. While he wasn't able to get Denver back to the Frozen Four he was able to lead the team to the NCHC Tournament Championship, winning Tournament MVP in the process. In his penultimate college game, Jaillet won his 82nd contest, tying the program record he now holds with Ron Grahame.
Professional
editAfter graduating Jaillet signed on with the Wolfsburg Grizzlies of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga[2] before ending up with the Jacksonville IceMen for the duration of the 2018–19 season.
