Playing career
Minor
Visentin played his minor hockey with the Halton Hurricanes, winning a provincial PeeWee AAA championship in 2002–03.[1] He was selected by the Niagara IceDogs in the third round, 54th overall, of the 2008 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Priority Selection.[2]
Junior
Visentin made his OHL debut for the IceDogs during the 2008–09 season. He played in 23 games, winning five.[3] In the 2009–10 season, Visentin saw increased playing time, appearing in 55 games and winning 24.[3] After the season, Visentin was ranked fourth among North American goalies by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau.[2] He was then drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes in the first round, 27th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.[4]
Professional
At the tail end of the 2013–14 season, Visentin was recalled from Phoenix's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Portland Pirates, and on April 12, 2014, he made his NHL debut in net with the Coyotes in a 3–2 defeat to the San Jose Sharks.[5]
Following the 2014-15 season, the Coyotes elected not to give Visentin a qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted free agent.[6] On July 8, 2015, Visentin signed a one-year contract with the Rockford IceHogs, the AHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks.[7] In the 2015–16 season, Visentin appeared in 13 games with 4 wins, before his season was cut short due to injury.
As a free agent in the off-season, Visentin remained in the AHL despite leaving the IceHogs, agreeing to a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Admirals, an affiliate to the Nashville Predators on August 1, 2016.[8]

Visentin's first experience with Hockey Canada resulted in a gold medal with Team Ontario at the 2009 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.[1] During the summer of 2010, Visentin spent time in the summer at Team Canada's summer development camp, as well as Hockey Canada's goaltender camp.[1]
After Canada's tryout camp in December, Visentin made Canada's team for the 2011 World Junior Championships.[9] Olivier Roy was Canada's starting goaltender for most of the tournament, but Visentin replaced him after a loss to Sweden. Visentin won against Switzerland in the quarterfinals, and the United States in the semi-finals, securing his spot as Canada's number one goaltender for the gold medal game against Russia.[10] After the semi-final against the U.S., Visentin was named Canada's Player of the Game.[11] In the final, Russia scored five goals in the third period on Visentin to capture the gold medal, 5–3. After the game, Visentin struggled to explain what had happened: "There's really no words to describe it."[12]
Personal life
Growing up, Visentin's favourite hockey team was the Montreal Canadiens, and his favourite player was Carey Price.[1] Visentin grew up in the community of Waterdown, Ontario.
