Jonathan Girard (born May 27, 1980) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player, who played for the Boston Bruins of the NHL.

[2] While at the time it was not known if Girard would ever play hockey again, he showed tremendous resilience in returning to skating at the Bruins' practice facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts in March, 2004.

However, the loss of the 2004–05 NHL season due to a lockout nullified his attempt at a return to hockey that year.

Girard signed a one-year contract with the Bruins on August 10, 2005,[3] and played one game with Providence in the AHL on October 15, 2005.

On November 30, Girard announced his decision to retire, having fully recovered from his injuries but unable to play professional hockey again.
