Player career

Maxime Ouellet began his career in 1997 in the Canadian Junior League QMJHL with the Québec Remparts . In 1999 he was voted the best goalkeeper in the league and a short time later selected in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round in 22nd place. He played another year with the Remparts before moving to the National Hockey League .

At the beginning of the 2000/01 season he played two games in the NHL and also two in the AHL for the Philadelphia Phantoms , the Flyers' farm team . Then he was sent back to QMJHL, where he competed with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies for the rest of the season.

The 2001/02 season he played with the Philadelphia Phantoms until he was transferred to the Washington Capitals by the Flyers along with a first, a second and a third round draft pick for Adam Oates . The rest of the season he completed the farm team of the Capitals in the AHL, the Portland Pirates . There he stayed until 2005. In between he came to six missions for the Capitals in the NHL in the 2003/04 season .

In December 2005 he was transferred to the Vancouver Canucks for a five-round draft pick. There, too, he played most of the season in the AHL, this time for the Manitoba Moose . But he was at least four times in the season for the Canucks to use.

After the season, his contract in Vancouver was not renewed and it was not until late December 2006 that he found a new employer in one of his former teams, the Portland Pirates. There he was released in January 2007 and signed a contract with the Kassel Huskies .

He returned to North America in the summer of 2007 and was signed by the New York Islanders . For this, however, he was not used. Instead, he completed five games in the ECHL for the Trenton Devils by the end of the 2007/08 season . The 2008/09 season he spent with the Poutrelles Delta de Sainte-Marie in the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey and then ended his playing career.

International

For Canada , Ouellet took part in the U20 World Junior Championships in 2000 and 2001 . He played a total of 13 missions.

Coaching career

In the 2012/13 season he was first goalkeeping coach at Baie-Comeau Drakkar in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec , then moved to the league competitor Val-d'Or Foreurs . Ouellet has been the goalkeeping coach of Eisbären Berlin from the German Ice Hockey League since August 2013 , but does not stay in the German capital all the time, but commutes between Europe and North America, because since June 2014 he has also been the goalkeeping coach of the Remparts de Québec .
