Chilliwack, B.C. – The Chilliwack Chiefs are proud to announce that defenceman Olivier Beaulieu has committed to Northern Michigan University.
Beaulieu will join the Northern Michigan Wildcats for the remainder of the 2025–26 season. In 24 games with the Chiefs this season, the 2005-born defenceman recorded four goals and 25 assists for 29 points, ranking first among BCHL defencemen in assists and second among defencemen in points.
“Olivier has grown his game in every way; on the ice, off the ice, and as a leader within our dressing room. He’s earned this opportunity with Northern Michigan through hard work and a commitment to improving every single day,” said Head Coach and General Manager Brian Maloney. “While it’s tough to lose a player of his caliber mid-season, we couldn’t be more proud of him. This is exactly what our program is about, and we’re excited to watch him take this next step in both his hockey and academic career.”
“I’m excited to be heading off to school and starting a new chapter, but it’s definitely bittersweet leaving the Chilliwack community,” said Beaulieu. “I’m so thankful to the coaches, staff, fans, and my teammates for all the support and belief along the way. I’m beyond grateful for the memories, relationships, and time I spent here. This place will always mean a lot to me.”
The entire Chiefs organization extends its congratulations to Olivier Beaulieu on this well-earned opportunity. His impact on and off the ice will be greatly missed, but we are incredibly grateful for everything he brought to our program and look forward to following his continued success at the next level.
