Jason Beaulieu (born 12 February 1994) is a Canadian former professional soccer player who played as a goalkeeper.

Early life

[edit]

Beaulieu was born in Montreal, Quebec, and grew up in the off-island suburb of Boisbriand.[1][2] He played youth soccer for FC Boisbriand until 2011 when he joined the Montreal Impact Academy.[3] In 2011, he played with Montreal's senior academy team in the Canadian Soccer League's first division.[4] In his debut season, he helped Montreal secure a playoff berth where they were eliminated in the first round by Capital City.[5][6]

He re-signed with the academy team the following season.[7] Beaulieu would receive the starting goalkeeper position as teammate Maxime Crépeau missed the majority of the season due to an injury.[8] He would assist the club in securing another playoff berth by finishing second in the division.[9] Their opponents in the preliminary round of the postseason were Toronto FC's academy where Montreal successfully advanced to the next round.[10] In the next round, Montreal defeated the York Region Shooters to secure a spot in the championship final.[11] Beaulieu would appear in the championship final match where the Impact was defeated by Toronto Croatia.[12][13] Throughout the 2012 campaign, he recorded 11 clean sheets and was named the club's MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.[12] He was also nominated for the league's top goalkeeper award.[14]

Club career

In 2015, Beaulieu played for PLSQ side CS Mont-Royal Outremont, making one appearance.[15] In the summer of 2017, he played for USL PDL side Albuquerque Sol FC, making four appearances that season.[16]

Montreal Impact

[edit]

On 9 January 2018, Beaulieu returned to Montreal Impact, then playing in Major League Soccer.[17] Ahead of the 2019 season, Beaulieu was slated to go on loan to USL Championship side Ottawa Fury but suffered a knee injury requiring surgery in January 2019.[18] After missing six months while recovering from surgery, he was finally loaned to Ottawa Fury on 18 July 2019.[19][20]

Beaulieu's contract option was declined by the Impact at the end of the 2019 season.[18]
