The 2009 World Junior Short Track Championships were held in his hometown of Sherbrooke.

Gélinas-Beaulieu was named Quebec's male national athlete of the year at the 37th annual Sports Québec Gala on December 23, 2009.[1] At the following junior short track championships in 2010 in Taipei he won five silver medals in the 500m, 1000m, 1500m super final, 3000m relay, and the overall silver medal.[2][3][4]
