Belfast Giants announce signing of Jordan Boucher

A graduate of Clarkson University, with a strong college hockey career in the NCAA, the 27-year-old Canadian forward has four years’ professional experience under his belt.

Having kicked off his pro career in 2017 at Binghamton Senators, Boucher arrives in Belfast off the back of a season at Grizzlys Wolfsburg in Germany, where he helped the club reach the playoffs.

Anticipating that first night on the ice at The SSE Arena, Belfast, Boucher said: “It’s going to be special. I think that’s one of the best parts about hockey – playing in front of your home crowd. I heard it’s pretty loud in Belfast, so I’m really excited and looking forward to it.”

“I’ve been training a lot; I like to road-bike in the summer, and I also run a lot.” says Montreal born Boucher of his preparations ahead of the 2021/22 season in Belfast.

Commenting on the news, Adam Keefe, Head Coach of the Belfast Giants said: “Jordan brings a highly competitive level to the team and is an elite skater. Fans will love watching him fly. With Jordan’s skating and experience in some of Europe’s top leagues, we think he will be a great addition to our forward group, and cause problems for opposing teams’ defencemen.”

Further signings are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
