Timeline
David James Poulin (born December 17, 1958) is a Canadian professional ice hockey executive and former player.
A centre, Poulin played 13 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Philadelphia Flyers, Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals.
In his post-playing career, Poulin has coached college hockey and has been an analyst on NHL television broadcasts.
Poulin went undrafted in the NHL Entry Draft and played with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at the University of Notre Dame from 1978–1982.
He was named to the Second All-Star Team in 1982.
Following his NCAA career, he moved to Sweden to play for Rögle BK.
Poulin's head coach was Ted Sator, who was also a scout for the Philadelphia Flyers in the National Hockey League.
Sator was impressed with Poulin's abilities and called for him to be put on board the Flyers' roster.
In 1982–83, Poulin made the leap to the NHL after a brief stint with the Maine Mariners of the American Hockey League.
On the second-last day of the season, Poulin made his debut at Maple Leaf Gardens, scoring two goals in a 6-3 Philadelphia victory.
The line became a dangerous offensive line in the league for the bulk of the next three seasons, and in his first full NHL campaign, helped him set a club record (now since passed) for most points by a Flyers rookie with 76.
Poulin quickly established himself as a strong leader and a player that could play at both ends of the ice, owing to the fact that he was 25 years old before taking a regular shift in the NHL.
Those attributes aided in his being named team captain on the eve of the 1984–85 season, replacing Hall of Famer Bobby Clarke, who had dealt former teammate Darryl Sittler to the Detroit Red Wings on the day he was to take the captaincy.
Poulin continued to be a strong presence offensively and defensively during his eight-year stay in Philadelphia, and overcame debilitating injuries at key times to help the club win.
In 1985, though slowed by knee and rib injuries, he helped a young Flyers club reach the 1985 Stanley Cup Finals, where they lost to the Edmonton Oilers in five games.
During Game 6 of the Wales Conference Finals at the Spectrum, Poulin scored a memorable two-man disadvantage short-handed goal which helped close out the Quebec Nordiques.
Two years later, Poulin missed chunks of playoff time with fractured ribs, but contributed to a pair of series clinchers—a 5–1 win over the New York Islanders in Game 7 of the Patrick Division Finals, and in Game 6 of the Wales Finals at the Montreal Forum.
For his efforts during the regular season, he was awarded the Frank J. Selke Trophy in 1986–87 and was named to the 1986 and 1988 NHL All-Star Games.
Poulin also played at the Rendez-vous '87 event where he recorded the winner late in the third period of Game 1.
The switch from Mike Keenan to Paul Holmgren as Flyers head coach meant a shift in responsibilities, as Poulin became more of a defensive specialist.
Once healthy, he could not aid Philly in the 1987 Stanley Cup Finals, as the Flyers lost to Edmonton again, but this time in a seven-game thriller.
By 1989–90, Poulin's play was deteriorating due to injuries and inconsistent play of his teammates, and less than a month after being stripped of the captaincy, was traded to the Boston Bruins for former Flyers centre Ken Linseman.
In his first season with the Bruins, Poulin, along with former teammate Brian Propp, made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Edmonton Oilers, but Boston lost in five games.
He stayed with the team for three more years which saw him win the King Clancy Memorial Trophy and finish as runner-up for the Frank J. Selke Trophy in 1992–93.
He left the team as a free agent following the 1992–93 season and signed on with the Washington Capitals.
Poulin lasted another season-and-a-half before retiring from professional play.
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.
On July 23, 2009, Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke introduced Poulin as the club's new Vice-President of Hockey Operations.
In January 2013, Poulin began serving as the GM of the Toronto Marlies.
On July 22, 2014, the Maple Leafs announced that they had fired Poulin.
He has since joined TSN as a hockey analyst on radio and TV.
He is also a freelance contributor to the Toronto Star newspaper.
On December 31, 2023, Dave Poulin was hired by the Ottawa Senators to the role of Senior Vice-President, Hockey Operations.
