Boileau began his junior career with Verdun Lasalle in 1950–51 before moving on to the St. Jerome Eagles the following year. At the age of 20 he moved up to Major Junior Hockey and spent half the 1952-53 season playing for the Montreal Jr. Canadiens of the QJHL. The second half of that season he finished with the Kitchener Greenshirts in the OHL.

He signed his first professional contract in 1953 and played with the Cincinnati Mohawks for the 1953–54 season, helping them win the IHL championship Turner Cup.

Boileau played with an assortment of minor-league teams for eight years before finally getting the chance to perform in the NHL. Boileau played one season in the National Hockey League. It was in 1961–62 when Boileau played 55 games with the Detroit Red Wings, making his NHL debut on November 15, 1961 vs Chicago Black Hawks at Chicago stadium in a 2-0 Black Hawks win. He was told to concentrate primarily on his defensive duties.

Boileau scored his 1st NHL goal vs Don Head of Boston Bruins at 14:59 of 2nd period on November 19, 1961 at Boston Garden in a 6-2 Detroit win. He scored 5 goals (1 GWG), 6 assists during the season. Despite a relatively strong on-ice performance, the Red Wings were unable to find a roster spot for him beyond that season and he never played in the NHL again.

Known for his determined work ethic but also for his temper, Boileau was an established minor league fixture, playing with the Indianapolis Chiefs, Seattle Totems, Hershey Bears, Los Angeles Blades, and Fort Wayne Komets. He retired from playing in 1973 at age 40 with over 1000 games of minor league experience.

He continued his career as a head coach, beginning with the Fort Wayne Komets, winning the Turner Cup in the 1972–73 season. Boileau went on to become head coach of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins from 1973 to 1976. He won the Avco Cup as head coach of the Quebec Nordiques in the World Hockey Association in 1977. He coached the Flint Generals from 1978 to 1981, then the Seattle Breakers for a few seasons in the WHL.
