Early life
Choinière was born in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec and grew up in the neighbouring Saint-Alexandre, Quebec.[2] He began playing soccer with Celtix du Haut-Richelieu, before moving on to CS St-Hubert.[3] In 2011, he joined the Montreal Impact Academy and became the first player in the organization's history to play for the U13, U14, U16, U18 and U19 teams prior to joining the first team.[4]

Choinière signed an MLS contract with the Montreal Impact, later renamed CF Montréal, on July 17, 2018.[5] He made his first appearance the next day against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the Canadian Championship. He made his first league appearance 3 days later against the Portland Timbers. Choinière would have his option for the 2020 season exercised by the Impact, keeping him with the club.[6] In February 2022 Choinière signed a contract extension through 2024, with an option year for 2025.[7] In June 2023, he was named to the MLS All-Star Game team after a standout first half of the season.[8][9]
