Playing career
In December 2014, he signed a three-year deal with the Canadiens. In 2015 after the end of his junior career with the Saskatoon Blades and the Swift Current Broncos, he reported to the Hamilton Bulldogs (the Canadien's then AHL affiliate) and played the last six games of their season.
Lernout played the bulk of the 2015–16 season with the St. John's IceCaps, the Canadien's new AHL farm team, but was called up after a string of injuries to Canadien's defencemen. He played his first NHL game on April 2, 2016 but suffered a season-ending injury during his eight shift.
