Senators winger has struggled to stay healthy since being taken 10th overall at the 2021 draft, but he’s excited to show he’s all the way back at training camp, Claire Hanna writes.
Many eyes were focused onas the Senators rookies and prospects took to the ice at the Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday.
Boucher ended up playing in just 21 games in the AHL in 2023-24, tallying two goals and five points. A left shoulder injury suffered in February required surgery in late March – Bouchard’s second shoulder surgery in less than 15 months. The first occurred just after the 2023 World Juniors, where Boucher represented Team USA. Boucher needed surgery on his right shoulder after suffering a torn labrum during the tournament.
“A big part of pro hockey is being able to be mentally strong, deal with hard stuff. I never planned on getting hurt, I never do. …I gain confidence from overcoming that sort of stuff.” Boucher said he changed his workout routine this past summer. At the suggestion of strength and conditioning coach Matt Nichol, the 21-year-old Arizona native added Pilates to his fitness routine and says he “saw some big changes in my flexibility.”
Bell is looking to players like Halliday, who is 22 years old, to “be a leader” and set the tone for the rest of the prospects. “They just said to have fun. Use as a tune up, make sure you’re playing good hockey going into camp,” Halliday said. “A lot of us at rookie camp that are going into main camp are using it as a tool, almost like a leg up going into main camp.”Many are also wondering if right-shot defenceman Carter Yakemchuk, the Senators seventh-overall pick this year, has a shot at cracking the roster.Last year with the Calgary Hitman, Yakemchuk led all Western Hockey League defenceman with 30 goals.
