Yes, he’s currently on injured reserve. But he IS one of our (traditionally) highest scoring members of the Minnesota Wild roster. And he even has his own signature move, the spin-o-rama. So in his absence, let’s see exactly why he’s missed so much by the rest of the team.
♥ Bouchard was drafted in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft (8th overall) by the Minnesota Wild. Which makes the Wild the only NHL team he’s played for. And let me tell you…the Wild don’t retain just anybody.
♥ He’s one of the smaller Minnesota Wild players – standing at 5’10 and 171 lbs. That being said, he’s probably the most creative playmaker on the team.
♥ In his rookie season with the Minnesota Wild, he notched 20 points in 50 games. Not bad for a first-time-NHL-er.
♥ During the NHL lockout, he didn’t flee the country like a lot of NHL-ers. Instead, he picked up the puck with the Houston Aeros, the Minnesota Wild’s AHL affiliate team.
♥ You’re in luck, ladies! This Minnesota Wild man is single and ready to mingle. And his fave restaurant in town is Manny’s. Steak and potatoes boy, methinks.?h5>
♥ AND he’s not just a hockey guy – he loves golf, tennis and video games in his free time. That seems to be a trend among hockey players, actually…
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave some love?
