CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

A Breakers original, the ultimate team player is back with his home town club after a year with the Perth Wildcats and two seasons with the Brisbane Bullets, which included an NBL title in 2006-07. The 1.96cm forward is no stranger to success, having won a record number of New Zealand NBL titles – a staggering eight, seven with Auckland and one with Waikato – the most recent in 2005 where he was Final MVP. He also made the NZ NBL All-Star Five in 2002, 2003 and 2007. Now retired from the Tall Blacks, the New Plymouth born Boucher made his NZ debut at the Goodwill Games in 2001 and was a member of the hugely successful 2002 World Championship team that won Team of the Year and overall honours at the Halberg Awards in early 2003. He also attended the Athens Olympics in 2004 and the 2006 World Champs in Japan during an international career that finished just a dozen matches short of 100 games.

OTHER INFORMATION

A non-stop hustler with a penchant for forcing turnovers, Boucher still features prominently in the Breakers all-time records for assists (3rd), steals (3rd) and offensive rebounds (4th). A measure of his standing in the game was graphically illustrated during his first season with the Bullets when he won the prestigious Vince Hickey Trophy, Brisbane’s major award for all-round commitment to the game on and off the court.
