Biographical Information

Infielder Maxime Poulin played in the independent leagues for 11 seasons, mainly with the Winnipeg Goldeyes. He started his career in 1998 with the Bayou Bullfrogs of the Texas-Louisiana League, then from 2001 to 2008, he played with Winnipeg in the Northern League. He was a very consistent hitter, always batting between .263 and .283, except in 2006 when his average was .225. He had four seasons in which he hit 14 doubles, and one with 15. He played mainly shortstop, with the occasional game at second base or on the mound and was a four-time All-Star. Winnipeg retired his uniform number after his departure. He also played for Team Canada in the 2003 Baseball World Cup, hitting .278/.300/.389 and handling 29 chances error-free as their starting second baseman (Geoff McCallum was at short).

In 2009, he joined the Edmonton Capitals of the Golden Baseball League where he hit .262 in 35 games at age 32.

In 2013, he was named hitting coach of the Trois-Rivières Aigles for their inaugural season in the Can-Am Association and held the position for the next three and a half seasons. He was activated for one game with the team in 2014. The Aigles won the league championship in 2015. On July 12, 2016, he replaced the fired Pete LaForest as manager and had thelast-place team playing well over the following week, as they went 5-3 after being well below .500 in the first couple of months. However, he was unable to come to an agreement with management on salary, and on July 17th, he announced he was leaving the team. T.J. Stanton took over for him to complete the season.
