Career

International retirement

In May 2017, Meunier played at the 2017 IIHF World Championship, in Paris, representing France, as lead team captain. This represented his swan song, and he retired from the national team after finishing the tournament. He played his last game at the final round robin game of France, against Slovenia, with a win, retiring with France's Lead Goaltender Cristobal Huet. Team France (Les Bleus) did not advance to the medal round, but was not relegated.[1][2]
