Tyler Boucher

Former NHL goaltender Brian's son is a big bodied off-handed power wing with pro-caliber toolbox, a strong hard shot, and surprising quickness. Protects pucks well to his body, and places strong on the puck and displays hands soft enough to get the puck to his teammates for good looks when in the scoring areas. His jump and take no quarter physicality catches many a opposing players if their head is down. Very nimble and able to disengage from defenders in a few strides and is able make space inside or in the middle. Has an impressive and accurate shot that he really launches. Needs time to develop his on-ice reads and vision in order to see the ice and his options better but the soft hands are there. When he is more consistent and uses his linemates better, the sky is the limit. Committed to Boston
