Latest News

Pierre-Marc Bouchard (born April 27, 1984 in Sherbrooke, Quebec) is a French Canadian professional hockey forward. He currently plays for the NHL's Minnesota Wild. He was drafted by the Minnesota Wild in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft eighth overall. His jersey number for the Wild is 96. He played his Junior Hockey with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens in the QMJHL and is the older brother of AHL player François Bouchard.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard appeared in professional play for the first time in the 2002–2003 NHL season in which he posted 7 goals and 13 assists for a total of 20 points in 50 games for the Minnesota Wild, which has been regarded as decent by NHL standards. During the 2004–2005 NHL lockout, Bouchard played for the Wild's minor league team, the Houston Aeros. Within this time period, Bouchard vastly improved his game. This was proved in the 2005–2006 season while he posted 17 goals and 42 assists for a total of 59 points in 80 games.

Bouchard is regarded as a creative playmaker and strong team player who often attempts unorthodox techniques during play. An example of one of these techniques was performed during an overtime shootout attempt in which he converted by utilizing a variation of a spin-o-rama against Chicago Blackhawks goalie Nikolai Khabibulin. Bouchard later credited the move to his younger brother François Bouchard.
