[edit] Career
Michel played his first professional season with the Birmingham Bulls of the WHA. Following the NHL/WHA merger, Goulet was declared eligible for the 1979 Entry Draft and was selected by Quebec. Michel was one of the deadliest snipers in the NHL. He achieved 50 goals in a season on four occasions. While playing the Canadiens at the Montreal Forum on March 16, 1994, Goulet crashed into the end boards striking his head. He suffered a severe concussion forcing him into retirement and having to cope with post-trauma symptoms. A year to the day after the accident, Goulet's number was retired by the Nordiques before a large crowd at Le Colisee. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1998 alongside former teammate Peter Stastny. Following 1089 NHL games he recorded 548 goals and 604 assists for 1152 points.
He won the Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 2001 as an assistant coach.
