Jocelyn Marcel Guevremont (born March 1, 1951 in Montreal, Quebec) is a retired former professional ice hockey player who was selected third overall in the 1971 NHL Amateur Draft by the Vancouver Canucks. He played for the Montreal Junior Canadiens in junior hockey, winning the Memorial Cup with them in 1969 and 1970. In his NHL career he also played for the Buffalo Sabres and New York Rangers and retired in 1980 due to chronic shoulder problems. He was also a member of Team Canada at the 1972 Summit Series. As a Buffalo Sabre he was often the only defenceman on the powerplay due to their depth at right wing, which pushed Rene Robert back to the other point while Danny Gare lined up on the wing along with Gilbert Perreault and Rick Martin. Although he was not a big goal scorer his hard slap shot resulted in many tip goals on the power play. At full strength he often was paired with Bill Hajt.
