Key Statistics: Boisvert
made huge strides in his sophomore season, improving
his goal total by seven and point total by 21 in just
eight additional games. His 11 goals ranked fifth on
the Pioneers and his 21 assists ranked third, with all
but one goal coming in league play. Boisvert was sixth
in points for Atlantic Hockey players in the Class of
2010 and 13th overall. Almost half of his goals (five)
came on the power play. Before joining Sacred Heart
he produced 19 goals and 44 points for the Notre Dame
Hounds in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.
What He Does: Boisvert
skates very well, has good quickness and great agility.
His puck handling is very good and he boasts strong
creativity. Sacred Heart coach Shaun Hannah knows he
can keep Boisvert and Dave Jarman together on a top
line, requiring only a replacement for leading scorer
Alex Parent. Boisvert killed penalties, and also played
with returnees Bear Trapp and David Grimson on the top
power play.
The Bigger Picture: Hannah
doesn’t anticipate Boisvert’s role to change
this season, and he believes his forward can raise his
production even more. Hannah says the 5-foot-9, 175-pound
Boisvert has pro potential because he’s well conditioned
and very strong for his size – the idea is not
so far-fetched given Boisvert’s father, Serge,
played for the Maple Leafs and Canadiens, and Erik participated
in the Habs’ development camp earlier this month.
Sacred Heart coach Shaun Hannah
on Boisvert: "He loves the game of hockey,
just loves the game. His enthusiasm shows up in how
he plays, how he practices. He plays with a lot of spark
and a lot of fire. He has an excellent work ethic, and
a real determination to improve as a hockey player.
He has definitely met our expectations. He is moving
in the direction that we were hoping for. We anticipated
he would be playing this type of role for us."
