Playing career
Montreal Stars
Poulin spent 2007-08 with the Montreal Stars of the Canadian Women's Hockey League. She appeared in only 16 games, but managed to lead all rookies in scoring with 22 goals and 21 assists. So dominant was she in half a season as a 16-year old rookie that she finished runner up in the CWHL Most Valuable Player vote by club captains. She was also a recipient of the Montreal Canadiens scholarship program in January 2008.[2] In 2008-09, she played with her school team (Dawson College), but also played as an associate player with the Stars. At year's end, she helped the Stars win the Clarkson Cup over the Minnesota Whitecaps in Kingston, Ontario in March 2009.
Hockey Canada
At the age of sixteen years old, she made her Team Canada debut with the Under-18 national team during a three-game exhibition series in Prince George, BC between Canada and the United States in the fall of 2007. Playing for Canada Red, Poulin racked up four goals and one assist in two games against Sweden's national women's team, the 2006 Olympic silver medalists. Her 2.5 points per game put her atop the all-time list for the national women's team.[3]
She participated at the 2008 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship in Calgary and was Canada's leading scorer. She was part of the team that won a silver medal. She finished the tournament with eight goals and six assists in five games.[4] In two seasons with Canada's national women's under-18 team, Poulin became the all-time leading scorer in U18 team history with 31 points in 17 games. She helped Canada to back-to-back silver medals at the IIHF World Women's Under-18 Championship in 2008 and 2009.
She made her debut on the Canadian senior national team, earning silver at the 2009 World Championship in Hameenlinna, Finland.[4]
Poulin scored both goals during Team Canada's 2-0 win in the gold medal game against the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics. At the end of the tournament, Poulin was named to the tournament all-star team.[5] In the 2010 Four Nations Cup, she scored a hat trick vs. Finland on November 12.[6]
Boston University
Poulin debuted with the Boston University Terriers women's ice hockey program during the 2010–11 season. On October 2, 2010, she scored the first goal of her NCAA career, during a 5-4 loss at North Dakota.[7] With her third shorthanded goal of the season on October 15, 2010, she tied BU’s single-season record for shorthanded tallies in just four games. She led all NCAA freshmen in goals (9) and points per game (2.00) during October 2010. In addition, she led all Hockey East freshmen in goals, assists and points, and ranked during the month. She was ranked first among all Hockey East players in shorthanded goals with three. In the first seven games of her NCAA career, she had a seven-game point-scoring streak consisting of nine goals and seven assists.[8] On December 7 and 10, two wins over Northeastern and Harvard, Poulin registered three goals. In both games, she had a total of 11 shots on goal and a +2 rating. On December 10, she scored two goals and a game-high eight shots as BU prevailed by a 5-3 mark over Harvard.
On January 15 and 16, 2011, Poulin recorded five points (2 goals,3 assists) in BU’s two wins over Boston College and Maine. Against BC, Poulin notched a power-play goal and two assists. Versus the Maine Black Bears, she registered a goal and an assist.[9] On January 22, 2011, Poulin recorded a hat trick, including two power play goals as BU prevailed over Vermont in a 4-0 win. The win was the Terriers 100th win in program history. Poulin broke BU’s single-season points record with her second goal of the game and later tied the single-season goals record with her third marker.[10] She became the first Terriers player to be honoured as Hockey East Rookie of the Year in March 2011.[11]
