Playing career

After beginning the 2021–22 season with the Boston University Terriers of Hockey East, collecting just 2 goals and 3 points through 17 games, Boucher opted to conclude his collegiate career and was signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators on December 28, 2021.[3] Thus ineligible to continue with Boston, Boucher joined the Ottawa 67's major junior team to continue his development. He was originally drafted by the 67's in the 2019 OHL Priority Selection 143rd overall.[4]

For the 2022–23 season, Boucher returned to play with the 67's. His season was cut short in March after a shoulder injury sidelined him that he suffered while playing with the United States men's national junior ice hockey team. In 21 games with the 67's, Boucher scored ten goals and 18 points.[5]

He joined the Senators organization the following season but failed to play in training camp due to a groin injury. He was assigned to Ottawa's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Belleville Senators in October.[6]
