It’s not easy to score 30 goals in the USHL in your draft year (let alone 35-plus) or to lead an NCAA program in scoring as an 18-year-old freshman. It’s even harder to do as a center who is counted upon and keyed in on. But as one rival USHL coach put it to me last year: “Sacha Boisvert is a really good player.” Boisvert, a top prospect in Quebec growing up who was a first-round pick in the QMJHL even after he’d gone to the U.S. for the final two years of his minor hockey, was named to the USHL’s All-Rookie Second Team two years ago after he finished third on the Lumberjacks in scoring as a 16-year-old. As a 17-year-old, he was named an alternate captain for Muskegon and played big minutes, often playing 20-24 in the second half of the season before finishing fifth in the league in goals (36) and 11th in points (68 in 61). He has continued to build on that in a strong freshman season for the Fighting Hawks this year as well, with clear areas that he can still work on and elevate.
