LeafsNation 21 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) BOBBY BOUCHER # 09 Center Toronto, Ontario Bobby Boucher grew up in the small town of Caledon Ontario North of Toronto here he played for the Caledon Coyote’s hockey team. Bobby grew up around hockey, Son of Rick Boucher who is known for is short stint in the NHL playing for the California Golden Seals. Rick dedicated his life to helping progress his son’s career. The two of them were often found at the local rink practicing drills and playing scrimmages with the local boys. Rick wanted Bobby to get the most exposure to the great game as possible. Bobby played hockey all his young life and when in high school at the height of 6'-3" Bobby was known as one of the bigger more athletic students. Bobby attended Humberview secondary school for grade 9 where he was approached by the high school hockey coach Jeff Granger. After seeing him skate at tryouts Jeff approached Bobby about attending a private school dedicated to developing the skills of young players. Bobby transferred to the Hill Academy a world renowned hockey school for the development of young Canadian players. Here Bobby was able to truly hone in on his assets, he was trained to use his great size and strength as a power forward. His scoring ability was astonishing for his size and his weakness of passing, he was able to use his brute strength and size to penetrate the D and rocket shots past the goalie. Bobby graduated with flying colors atop of his hockey class. After graduating Bobby was contacted by many Junior A teams, The Orangeville flyers were very interested and as a home town kid they thought he would make a big statement signing with their team but it was the Toronto Patriots the interested Bobby the most, he later signed with the young Toronto team where his quick climb to captain and scoring leader was well documented by local and often major sports casters. Bill Sanders of VHL Weekly analyzed the young star to find his strengths and weakness her is what he found: STRENGTHS 1. Boucher has pure size and strength at 6'-6"! he can use his height to wire shots an an un-believable speed 2. Great eye for the game, we believe this come from his many years of experience and his push from his father to always be involved and around the game. the game of hockey is this guys life! 3. Great teammate, he was captain for all his year in Toronto and he did a great job doing do he brought home three title to the great team and kept his teammates in line and happy while doing do WEAKNESSES 1. His size is a strength and weakness, sometimes it causes him to loose the 1 on 1 race do to speed restrictions from his size 2. This guy can pass but we encourage him to work on his forehand and backhand sauce to get more accurate feeds 3. We encourage Boucher to continue work on his physical play, although he is a huge center he sometimes shy's away from making the necessary hit. We think with a little added physical play he can be a number 1 center. CONCLUSION All around Bobby Boucher is a great play maker and scorer, and has an excellent vision of game up there at 6'-6" (6'-9" on skates). he knows everything about hockey and knows the flow of the game he can read an interception and position himself in the perfect place to receive the pass. If he continues to work on his saucer pass and physical game we think Boucher will be a player to watch for in the coming years.

Tylar 219 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Overview: 2/2 - You did a good job on this part. Pros & Cons: 1.25/3 - The Pro's and Con's section is the major part of the rookie profile. While you named 3 of each, you did not go in-depth on each of them which is basically the whole part of the profile. This section is usually supposed to be around 300-400 words like the rubric suggests and yours was under 200 and was not in depth. Grammar: 2/2 - Caledon Ontario = Caledon, Ontario an an = an (typo)! he = ! He (Theres a few examples of missed capitalization to start a sentence) causes him to loose = causes him to lose Presentation: 1/1 -Yes. Overall: 6.25/8 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/21439-claimedbobby-boucher-rp-final-68/#findComment-236659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
