Jean-Phillipe Marc Joseph Côté (born April 22, 1982) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman. He is currently under contract with the Boxers de Bordeaux of the Ligue Magnus and has previously appeared in 27 games in the National Hockey League with the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning. He is the son of former NHL player Alain Côté.
Côté was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs 265th overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, from the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Unsigned from the Maple Leafs, Côté was signed to an AHL contract with the Hamilton Bulldogs for his first professional season in 2003–04. Côté eventually signed a contract in the coming season with NHL affiliate, the Montreal Canadiens.
During the 2005–06 season, he played his first game in the NHL on November 29, 2005, against the Ottawa Senators to fill in for the suspended Andrei Markov. He finished the night with 13 minutes of ice time, one penalty, and a -1. Later in the season, with another injury to Andrei Markov, Côté was recalled from the Bulldogs and played a regular shift. He often played with fellow 24-year-old blueliner Mike Komisarek, and the pair formed a solid and hard-working duo of defensive defencemen. After 8 games he was reassigned to the AHL with the return of Markov.
