Dave Poulin Biography

Dave Poulin is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on December 17, 1958 in Timmins, Ontario, Canada. David James Poulin (born December 17th 1958) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey player who played for 13 seasons with the National Hockey League (NHL) playing for The Philadelphia Flyers, Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals.

The change to Mike Keenan to Paul Holmgren as the Flyers head coach entailed that the Flyers head coach’s responsibilities changed and responsibilities, as Poulin changed into defensive specialist. In 1989-90, the player’s performance was getting worse because of injuries and the inconsistent performances of his teammates and just a month after losing the captaincy, he was traded to the Boston Bruins for former Flyers center Ken Linseman. In his first year playing for Boston Bruins, Poulin, along with his former colleague Brian Propp, made it all through into the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers, but Boston fell in the final in five games. Poulin remained with the team for three more seasons that saw him win the King Clancy Memorial Trophy in 1992-93. The team parted ways with him as a free agent after the 1992-93 season , and joined the Washington Capitals. Poulin continued to play for another season and a half prior to retiring.

On July 22, 2014, the Maple Leafs announced they had fired Poulin. He has since joined TSN as a hockey analyst on radio and TV.

Poulin was a formidable presence offensively as well as defensively throughout his time in Philadelphia and was able to overcome debilitating injuries at crucial times to aid the team in winning. In 1985, despite being slowed by rib and knee injuries, he assisted the young Flyers team reach their first Stanley Cup Finals, where they fell in the finals to Edmonton Oilers in five games. In game 6 in the Wales Conference Finals at the Spectrum, Poulin scored a remarkable short-handed goal with two players that helped seal in the Quebec Nordiques. The following year, Poulin missed chunks of playoff games due to fractured ribs, but he was able to contribute to the series’ clinchers, a 5-1 victory against the New York Islanders in Game 7 of the Patrick Division Finals, and in Game 6 of the Wales Finals played at the Montreal Forum. After he was back to full health, he could help Philly when they went to the Stanley Cup Finals, as the Flyers fell to Edmonton again, this time in a seven-game slugfest. To honor his work during the regular season Poulin was awarded the Frank J. Selke Trophy in 1986-87, and was also included in 1987 and the 1986 NHL All-Star Games. Poulin was also a participant at the Rendez-vous in 1987, and won the game at the end of the third period of Game 1.

Poulin began his career in hockey in his team the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at the University of Notre Dame. He was a member of the Fighting Irish from 1978-1982 and was selected to the second All-Star Team in 1982. The size of his frame made him dropped from the NHL Entry Draft so instead Poulin was sent into Sweden and played for the Rogle BK. The head coach of Poulin was Ted Sator, who was also a scout for Philadelphia Flyers in the National Hockey League. Sator was impressed by the talents of Poulin and asked his inclusion on the Flyers roster. He made his transition into the NHL following a brief time playing for the Maine Mariners of the American Hockey League. In the second date of his season Poulin made his NHL debut on the pitch at Maple Leaf Gardens, netting two goals in the 7-3 Philadelphia victory.

The next year, Poulin was put on an offensive line along with Brian Propp and Tim Kerr. The line was considered to be a danger offensive line for the majority of the following three seasons, and during his first NHL campaign, he establish a record (now being surpassed) for the highest number of points for an Flyers rookie, scoring 76 points. Poulin immediately established himself as an formidable leader, and was a player who could play on both ends of the ice, due to his age of just 25 years old when he began making a shift in the professional. These qualities helped him in being appointed captain of the team in the final days of 1984-85 season, replacing Hall of Famer Bobby Clarke, who had given his former teammates Darryl Sittler to Detroit on the day he was scheduled to become captain.

Poulin spent 10 years as head hockey coach at his alma mater, the University of Notre Dame. In 2004, Poulin was inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame.
