Career

Bureau spent his junior years between 1983 and 1987 over four years in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec (LHJMQ). There the attacker first completed a year and a half in the jersey of the Saguenéens de Chicoutimi , before he was transferred to league rivals Bisons de Granby during the 1984/85 season . In the bison jersey, Bureau made it into the league's third all-star team at the end of the season. Nevertheless, he returned to the Saguenéens de Chicoutimi in the same calendar year in the following season. The 1986/87 season , the striker finally played in the jersey of the Chevaliers de Longueuil , with whom he won the championship of the LHJMQ in the form of the Coupe du Président at the end of his junior career . He made a significant contribution to this with 37 scorer points in 20 playoff games. As a result of the championship, he took part with the team in the Memorial Cup before moving undrafted to the professional field.

In May 1987, the Calgary Flames secured services from the National Hockey League (NHL) Bureau. Their manager at the time, Cliff Fletcher , had planned the French-Canadian for the following years for the Salt Lake Golden Eagles farm team from the International Hockey League (IHL). With the Golden Eagles, the rookie secured the Turner Cup in his first professional season . In the three following seasons Bureau was also an integral part of the squad of the Salt Lake Golden Eagles and reached in two game years at least 40 goals and two appointments to one of the All-Star teams. Until his transfer to the Minnesota North Stars in March 1991 in exchange for a third-round vote in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft , the center forward had only ten in the center position with Joe Nieuwendyk , Joel Otto and Jim Peplinski due to the quality of the Flames squad Completed NHL missions. It was only in the North Stars jersey that Bureau developed into a regular NHL player and reached the final games of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 1991 . Due to injuries, he completed only 46 games for Minnesota in the 1991/92 season . Shortly after the start of the 1992/93 season , he got on the waiver list to the newly formed Tampa Bay Lightning , who went into their first NHL season. Bureau was there in the following three years at home, before a new transfer business in late June 1995 led him to the Canadiens de Montréal in his home province of Québec . The Franco-Canadian franchise gave the experienced Brian Bellows to the Lightning.

In Montréal, Bureau also stayed for three seasons and filled - as in his three previous NHL stations - the position of a defensively oriented striker. In the summer of 1998 he moved as a free agent to the ambitious Philadelphia Flyers , who gave him back to his former club from Calgary in March 2000 for Travis Brigley and a six- round vote in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft . For the Flames, he completed his last nine of 617 NHL games by the end of the millennium season . Due to a back injury sustained during training in October 2000, he played only 17 games for the farm team Saint John Flames in the American Hockey League (AHL) in his last professional season . After his retirement, Bureau worked for three seasons between 2011 and 2014 as a scout for the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in the LHJMQ.
