From the famous Boucher hockey family (two of his brothers, Frank and George, are in the Hockey Hall of Fame), Billy Boucher was a very good player in his own right and won a Stanley Cup championship in 1924 with the Montreal Canadiens. Bucher debuted in Montreal in the 1921/22 season as a rookie, where his 17 Goals placed him eighth that year, and he would post a career high of 23 the following season, where he was second overall in the NHL. Boucher would finish in the top ten for the next two seasons, but his production would decline after that. Realistically, his career was four very good, bordering on excellent seasons, followed by mediocrity.
