He also played two years of professional hockey in Europe.

Bourgeois operates a summer hockey school in Moncton, and he is president of Atlantic Hockey Group, which works with over 10,000 youth and adult hockey players each year. He is dedicated to helping kids improve their hockey skills. Bourgeois has conducted special hockey camps for children from Asia.
