Ep. 190 - "Warrior of Warroad" (Henry Boucha)

WCCO-TV, Channel 4, Saturdays at 11:05 PM
Warroad, Minn., is a small town located in the northern most part of the state just across the Canadian border. It's a place with a deep history in the game of ice hockey. Host Mike Max talks with hometown legend Henry Boucha. A member of the 1972 Olympic team, Henry was drafted by the NHL's Detroit Red Wings and received the esteemed honor of Rookie of the Year in 72-73. The following season he was traded to the North Stars, and shortly after, he was involved in the highly publicized "stick incident" with Dave Forbes of the Boston Bruins, which left Henry with limited vision in his right eye. While this career-ending injury spiraled Henry into depression, learn how his native Ojibwe (Chippewa) culture helped bring him back to wholeness.

Great documentary, kudos to Mr. Boucha for touching so many lives in a positive manner. We need more of this in our world.

God Bless you Henry. You are a hero of many MN youth players

Funny as a kid I don't think I knew Henry was Native American, or if I did, what that meant historically and in the present, I just thought he was the coolest looking dude on hockey cards with that great headband and jet black hair. Fantastic. What a sweetheart of a guy.

An all time great, shouldacouldawoulda been remembered as the greatest American hockey player of his generation. So glad to see he is doing well, and hope he continues to do so.

Met Henry sporting my North Star's gear about a year ago at a bar

Dave Forbes was a jerk. He ended the career of a great player, and worse, he was a great role model for Native Americans. I am glad the story has a happy ending. Boucha is a great man.

Dave Forbes was a prick!!! Absolutely disgusting, he and the Edina hockey team of 1968-1969 school year!!!! Henry, you are a CLASS ACT!!!!!! God bless you!!!!❤

[@Planktontwo]

Dave Forbes should be in jail for what he did. Anywhere else he would be. Who knows what he could have accomplished in his career if this had not happened?
