Meet the New Blackhawks: Q&A With Sacha Boisvert

With the Chicago Blackhawks‘ regular season winding down and their final game on April 15, the excitement centers on the new prospects making their debuts. It’s always entertaining to see prospects get their feet wet, and the Blackhawks have had two prospects make their NHL debuts in the last month: Anton Frondell and Sacha Boisvert.

Boisvert was a Blackhawks first-round draft pick in 2024 and came from Boston University. His NHL debut was delayed due to visa issues, so even though he signed his entry-level contract on March 16, he made his Blackhawks debut on March 26 against the Philadelphia Flyers. He has mainly played a fourth-line center role in six games.

So, let’s get to know the 20-year-old forward better. Here is a quick Q&A I had with him at practice on April 8.

THW: You Have Been Here Before For Development Camps And Such. But What Stands Out to You The Most About Chicago- Anything in Particular?

Boisvert: Well, it’s pretty nice. Like, there’s a lot… not that I expected it not to be nice, but it’s nicer than I even thought it was. Like, even at dev camp… went on a boat tour and everything, and it’s one of the best cities I’ve ever seen. It’s awesome.”

“I like the food, too.”

THW: What Have You Made Of Your NHL Experience So Far?

Boisvert: A lot. I mean, just being around here for those couple of weeks. It’s been [very] helpful just to see what the schedule is all about, like practices, workouts, and everything. Not only to get on the ice, but just to, like, feel out what it is to be a pro player in the NHL.”

THW: What Would You Say Is Your Greatest Strength As A Player?

Boisvert: “I think versatility, I’d say. Like, I obviously have a good shot and everything, but I think just being able to kind of play either physical or skilled, kind of do everything on the ice, that’s where I think it’s gratifying.”
