Career
Never drafted into the NHL, Michaud signed a pro contract with the Vancouver Canucks in 1999 following success at the University of Maine in which he posted a 28–6–3 record with a 2.32 GAA. He would appear in 38 games in his first professional season for the Syracuse Crunch, Vancouver's AHL affiliate, and received a two-game call-up to the Canucks during an injury crunch, making his NHL debut on October 28 against the Phoenix Coyotes. His second and last NHL game was on November 7 against the St. Louis Blues. For the next two seasons, he continued to play in minor pro but did not receive another chance at the NHL level.

Michaud was released by the Canucks in 2002, and had stints in the ECHL with the Reading Royals, Peoria Rivermen, and Utah Grizzlies. He ended his career overseas with the Fischtown Pinguins in Germany and finally with SønderjyskE in Denmark.

During the 2010–11 season in Denmark, he set a shutout record by going 360:58 without allowing a goal; the previous record in Denmark was 242 minutes.
