2005-06: Goloubef played with the Milton Ice Hawks (OPJHL) where he was named the team’s rookie of the year after posting 42 points (10 goals, 32 assists) in 49 games. It was during this season that college hockey recruiters really began to take notice. Goloubef became one of the most highly sought-after players coming out of the OPJHL with a number of schools courting him. In addition, the Sarnia Sting (OHL), who drafted the young defenseman in 2005, were also in the mix.

2006-07: Goloubef came to Wisconsin from the Oakville Blades of the Ontario Provincial Junior Hockey League (OPJHL), where he recorded 22 points (seven goals, 15 assists) in 19 games in an injury-shortened 2006-07 season. Goloubef was also a member of Team Ontario in the U-17 World Hockey Challenge in 2006. He was one of only three non-OHL players to be named to the Team Ontario roster.

2007-08: Skated with the University of Wisconsin where he scored ten points (4 goals and 6 assists) in 40 games.  His first collegiate point (an assist) came in the season opening game versus Notre Dame in the Lefty McFadden Tournament on Oct. 12. His first collegiate goal, on the power play, came on Nov. 3 versus Michigan Tech. It was also the game winner.

2008-09: Goloubef played in 36 games with the Badgers. He scored 5 goals and 8 assists for 13 points in his sophomore season.

2009-10: As a junior, Goloubef appeared in 42 games with 3 goals, 11 assists for 14 points. Goloubef was part of a very talented blueline corps at Wisconsin that included top prospects Brendan Smith (DET), Ryan McDonagh (MON), Jake Gardiner (ANH), Justin Schultz (ANH), and John Ramage (CLG). The Badgers were able to get all the way to the National Championship game, where they fell to Boston College. Goloubef was signed to a 3-year entry level contract in April, 2010.

2010-11: Goloubef skated in 50 of 80 games for AHL Springfield in his first pro season. He scored 5 goals with 12 assists and was -12 with 42 PMs as the Falcons finished sixth in their division and did not reach the AHL playoffs.
