Michel Goulet: A Journey from the WHA to NHL Stardom
Michel Goulet transitioned to the NHL in the 1979-80 season when the WHA and NHL merged. Although the Quebec Nordiques were part of this merger, they were a new team for Goulet, who had spent his lone WHA season with the Birmingham Bulls.
Early Career and Transition to the NHL
As part of the merger's unique framework, Goulet was selected by the NHL Nordiques in the first round of the 1979 NHL Entry Draft, 20th overall. Before his time with Birmingham, Goulet showcased his talent with the Quebec Remparts in the QMJHL. His standout performance in the 1977-78 season saw him net 73 goals and tally 135 points in just 72 games.
In his rookie NHL season, Goulet experienced a slow start, managing 22 goals. However, he found his stride and significantly improved, culminating in a 57-goal season in 1982-83. This achievement ranked him fourth in the league, trailing only Wayne Gretzky’s remarkable 71 goals. Goulet continued his offensive dominance, reaching the 50-goal mark in each of the next three seasons. His career-high of 57 goals remained unmatched, placing him among an elite group of players with consecutive 50-goal seasons, including legends like Gretzky, Mike Bossy, and Guy Lafleur.
A Prolific Career and Hall of Fame Recognition
Over a stellar NHL career spanning from 1979-80 to 1993-94, Goulet scored 548 goals in 1,089 regular-season games with the Nordiques and Chicago Blackhawks. This tally ranks him 32nd on the all-time goal-scoring list, just ahead of Maurice Richard and narrowly behind Ron Francis. Michel Goulet’s exceptional contributions to hockey were honored with his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1998.
