Career
Boucher started his career playing for the Cowichan Valley Capitals of the BCHL in 1997. Midway through the 1998-1999 BCHL season, Boucher was traded to the Fort Saskatchewan Traders of the AJHL. Boucher would later commit to Dartmouth College, where he became the starting goaltender. Boucher"s totals would improve in his remaining years with Dartmouth, winning 16, 9, and 17 games respectively.
He would leave Dartmouth holding several records, including, but not limited to, career wins (50), career games by a goalie (105), career saves, and wins in a season.
Signing to play with the Penguins farm team, Boucher would start his professional career with the Wheeling Nailers, the ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins, with a late season recall to Pittsburgh"s primary minor league affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins of the AHL. Boucher would record 20 wins in his rookie season and was named to the ECHL All-Rookie Team.
Due to the 2004-2005 National Hockey League lockout, many pros that would normally have played in the National Hockey League chose to play in the AHL, forcing pros in the AHL down to the ECHL. As a result, Boucher was left out of the Penguins plans and he became an unrestricted free agent
Boucher would remain in the minors for several years, playing in Pee Dee (Florence, South Carolina), Elmira and Muskegon before traveling to Europe. In his second CHL season with the Komets, he was named the starting goalie for the CHL All Star Game held in Prescott, Arizona and was named a finalist for goaltender of the year. Boucher has since retired from professional hockey, citing recurring hip problems.
On October 26th, 2013 the Fort Wayne Komets permanently retired Boucher"s number "33", along with the number "1" of Chuck Adamson, in a pre-game ceremony at the Allen County War Memorial.
He is the youngest former Komet player to have his jersey number retired. 1999-2003: Dartmouth College, career saves (2,803)
1999-2003: Dartmouth College, career wins (50)
2000-2001: Dartmouth College, single season saves (867).
