Kudos: Fifth Grader Helps Team to Hockey Title

Sam Boucher, grade 5, and his hockey team, the Santa Clara Blackhawks, wrapped up a six-week “Summerhawks” program, which culminated in a Memorial Day Shootout in Anaheim hosted by the Junior Ducks. Boucher missed the first two games due to illness, but came back to help his PeeWee (12U) team secure second place with a 3-1 record, only losing to the undefeated California Golden Bears of Burbank. The Blackhawks faced the Bears again in the championship game, this time beating them 3-1 to take the title. A banner for the team will be hoisted at their home ice in Fremont. Boucher was also catcher for the Harker JVB baseball team this spring. Go Sam!
