Playing career

Goulbourne was drafted in the 5th round, 105th overall, by the Kelowna Rockets in the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft.[1] In 2013, Goulbourne was named an assistant captain for the Rockets and was drafted in the third round of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers.[2] He played with the Rockets for two more seasons before signing an entry level contract with the Flyers on March 3, 2015.[3]

Goulbourne was assigned to the Flyers American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for the 2015–16 season. He struggled in his first two AHL seasons, only earning 18 points in a combined 97 games, and was reassigned to the Reading Royals in the ECHL.[4] He described the demotion as "hitting rock bottom" and eventually created enough consistency to play back in the AHL the following season.[5]

Goulbourne began the 2017–18 season in the American Hockey League. He was recalled on January 3[6] and Goulbourne made his NHL debut on January 6, 2018, against the St. Louis Blues.[7] He re-signed a one year contract with the Flyers organization on July 15, 2018.[8]

After four seasons within the Flyers organization, Goulbourne left as a free agent to sign a two-year, two-way $700,000 contract with the Vegas Golden Knights on July 1, 2019.[9]

Personal life

Goulbourne was raised in Edmonton, Alberta, to parents Mark and Georgia Goulbourne.[10] His mother is of Jamaican heritage and moved to Canada while in her teens and his father is a music producer.[11]
