Jean-François Racine

Jean-François Racine (born April 27, 1982, in Roxton Falls, Quebec, Canada) is an ice hockey goaltender and is currently a free agent in the hockey world.

Racine was selected 90th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the third round of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. While he has had many chances to play for the Leafs in the NHL, arguably outperforming Maple Leaf back-up Mikael Tellqvist during the 2005 training camp,Fact|date=February 2007 he has still been relegated to the Marlies. Originally sharing the starting role with the Marlies with Tellqvist, the departure of Trevor Kidd as the prime back-up spot on the Leafs has earned Tellqvist a promotion, with Racine earning the starting spot. The signing of Jean-Sébastien Aubin to the club, however, led to the two splitting the games 50/50. With the groin injury of Ed Belfour on December 12, 2005, Aubin was recalled to back-up Tellqvist, and Racine is now a free agent.
