Philip Beaulieu (born September 2, 1995) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman currently under contract with Asiago HC in the ICE Hockey League (ICEHL). He was an All-American for Northern Michigan.[1]
Playing career
[edit]After graduating from East High School in 2014, Beaulieu played another two years at the junior level before he got the opportunity to play college hockey. In his freshman season with Northern Michigan both Beaulieu and the Wildcats were a bit flat but all that changed in the offseason. a new head coach, Grant Potulny, was brought in and the team's fortunes appeared to change overnight. NMU won nearly twice as many games and advanced in the postseason for the first time in eight years, reaching the WCHA championship game.[2] Beaulieu, meanwhile, saw his offensive numbers balloon and he led the nation in scoring from the blueline.[3] Beaulieu's offensive production declined the following year but it didn't stop him from being named team captain as a senior. Unfortunately, he was unable to get Northern Michigan to improve its record and the team was knocked out in the conference quarterfinals.
The start to Beaulieu's professional career was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but he did finally receive a contract with the Allen Americans for the 20–21 season. He played well in his rookie year, averaging just over a point every other game and helped the Americans reach the ECHL semifinals. His performance was good enough for the team to bring him back for a second campaign.[4]
On June 13, 2022, after two seasons with the Americans, Beaulieu was traded to the Worcester Railers, completing a previous future considerations trade.[5]
Following a lone season with the Railers in 2022–23, having been hampered by injury in adding 17 assists through 39 games, Beaulieu's rights were again traded in completing a future considerations trade to the Wheeling Nailers on June 20, 2023.[6]
Beaulieu opted to return to Europe before signing a contract with the Nailers, agreeing to a one-year deal with Italian club, Asiago Hockey 1935 of the ICEHL on October 11, 2023.
