Career

Hecquefeuille played the majority of his early career in the French Ligue Magnus for Les Gothiques d'Amiens and Les Brûleurs de Loups. In 2003, Kévin won the Jean-Pierre Graff Trophy as the best rookie in the Ligue Magnus.

Beginning in 2008, he took his game abroad, playing in countries like Sweden (Nybro Vikings IF, Karlskrona HK), Germany (Kölner Haie),[1] and Switzerland (Genève-Servette HC,[2] SCL Tigers[3]) in the following years. He worked out with the Vienna Capitals[4] in November 2016, but left the Austrian club after four days for personal reasons.[5]

On 18 December 2016 he was offered a PTO by EHC Kloten of the National League A (NLA) and was then signed to a short-term contract as a replacement for injured Bobby Sanguinetti. He left Kloten when his contract expired in January 2017.[6]

On 24 January 2017 he joined HC La Chaux-de-Fonds for the remainder of the 2016–17 season.

He also played 19 years for the French national team.

He retired from playing in 2022, and on 28 March 2022 became the coach of Scorpions de Mulhouse.
