As a youth, Ouellet played in the 1994 and 1995 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from Beauport, Quebec City.[1]
Ouellet was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round, 22nd overall at the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. He later was traded with a first, second, and third round draft choice in 2002 NHL Entry Draft to the Washington Capitals for Adam Oates. He holds several records for the former AHL affiliate of the Washington Capitals, the Portland Pirates. On December 2, 2005, the Washington Capitals traded Ouellet to the Canucks in exchange for a fifth round selection in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft (Maxime Lacroix).[citation needed]
After not playing to start the 2006–07 season, in late December 2006, Ouellet was signed by the Portland Pirates to goal tend alongside Dov Grumet-Morris. One week later in January 2007, he left Portland without playing a game and was reportedly trying to sign with a European team. In January 2007, Ouellet signed to a contract with the German hockey club Kassel Huskies.
Ouellet was signed by the New York Islanders to a minor-league contract with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on July 26, 2007. After failing to make the team, he signed a contract on November 11, 2007, with the Salzburg Red Bulls of the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga in Austria.[2]
On January 24, 2008, Ouellet signed a contract with the Mississippi Sea Wolves of the ECHL.[3] He was traded from the Sea Wolves to the Trenton Devils where he played 5 games with a 3.21 GAA and a 0.877 save percentage.
On October 16, 2008, it was announced that Ouellet had signed with the St. Marie Poutrelles Delta of the LNAH.
