Kevin Asselin (born February 09, 1985 in Acton Vale, Quebec) is a professional ice hockey player.
Asselin was drafted by the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in Round 2 (22nd overall) of the 2001 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft. He demonstrated plenty of offensive potential during his junior hockey career, scoring 121 goals between 2001 and 2006, all spent as a member of the Screaming Eagles. In his final junior season, Asselin scored 44 goals and added 44 assists for a total of 88 points in 67 games. Despite this production, and despite being a favorite among fans in Cape Breton, Asselin was never drafted by an NHL team.
He split the 2006-07 season between the Texas Wildcatters, Bakersfield Condors, and Columbia Inferno of the ECHL.
Asselin is currently a member of the Saint-Hyacinthe Top Design of the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (LNAH) in his native Quebec.
