Benoit Pouliot Compilation (Welcome to Montreal)

Benoît Pouliot (born September 29, 1986, in Alfred, Ontario) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player currently playing for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Pouliot grew up in St. Isidore, Ontario. He played for his hometown team, the St. Isidore Eagles, where he was coached by his father Sylvain. He was later promoted to the AA group regional team of Eastern Ontario Cobras. After a short stint in Junior B with Les Castors de Clarence Creek, he played for the CJHL, as had his father.

He won the Emms Family Award as the OHL's top rookie for the 200405 season. On July 30, 2005, he was drafted fourth overall by the Minnesota Wild. He was a member of the Canadian team that won the 2006 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. He finished the 200506 season with 65 points in 51 games including 35 goals.

He was signed to a tryout contract with Minnesota's AHL affiliate, the Houston Aeros, on April 28 and he played there for two games of their semi-final Calder Cup playoff series against the Milwaukee Admirals, the farm team of the Nashville Predators. Pouliot was then signed to the Wild on May 1, 2006, and made his NHL debut on November 22, 2006, against the Montreal Canadiens.

Pouliot scored his first two NHL goals for Minnesota against Calgary Flames on March 22, 2008, but the Wild still lost the match 54.[1]

Pouliot later was placed on the 200809 roster at the beginning season. After only recording 11 points in 37 games, Pouliot was sent down the Minnesota Wild's minor league affiliate, the Houston Aeros. He returned to Houston however, and fan consensus there is that his play has improved markedly.[2] On November 23, he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Guillaume Latendresse. [3]

@MnWild1019Koivu If he gets injured he'll have something in common with Latendresse then wouldn't he.
