Hugo Boisvert

Hugo Boisvert is a Canadian ice hockey coach and retired center who was a two-time All-American for Ohio State. The Buckeyes won their first two tournament games and reached the Frozen Four. Boisvert's numbers declined slightly as a junior but he still led the team in scoring by 14 points. He led the team back to the NCAA Tournament but this time they fell in their opening game.

Boisvert left Ohio State after his junior season and played on the Canadian national team for a year. Afterwards, he began his professional career with a rather unimpressive season for the Orlando Solar Bears in the final year of the IHL. He picked up his scoring in the postseason and was able to earn a job with the Grand Rapids Griffins, playing three seasons for the club. In 2004, Boisvert travelled to Europe and began playing in Germany.

In his first year with the Füchse Duisburg, Boisvert rediscovered his scoring touch and helped the team win promotion to the DEL. After helping them stave off relegation the following year, he signed on with the Kassel Huskies, whom had been relegated that year, and performed well for the team. He was named team captain in 2007 and led them to a league championship, securing promotion back to the top level of German ice hockey. Boisvert remained with the club for two more years before moving down to another Bundesliga team, Dresdner Eislöwen. By this time, Boisvert's scoring was declining and though he still played well, he was unable to get a third team promoted to the DEL. He stayed with the club for 5 years before retiring as a player in 2015.

The next season, Boisvert returned to the Huskies as an assistant coach. After three years, he was named the head coach for the Bietigheim Steelers. After finishing as runners-up in the regular season in 2019, the club declined and Boisvert was let go in November the following year. After sitting out the 20-21 season, Boisvert was back behind the bench as an assistant with Rote Teufel Bad Nauheim in 2021.

Boisvert was inducted into the Ohio State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013.

Personal Hugo's son Zavier, born 2006, plays junior ice hockey in Germany.
