Had the opportunity to work with Paul at a couple Hockey Canada camps. A first rate human being and teacher of the game. Rest easy Boots, enjoy your “shift downtime.”

[NHL Alumni @NHLAlumni]

The NHL Alumni Association is deeply saddened to learn that Paul Boutilier has passed away at the age of 63.

A defenseman, Paul played major junior hockey with the QMJHL’s Sherbrooke Castors beginning in 1980, and was selected by the New York Islanders in the first round of the 1981 NHL Entry Draft. Paul made his NHL debut later that year, skating in his first career game on October 31, 1981, with the Islanders at the Montreal Forum, later returning to Sherbrooke for the remainder of the season.

Paul split time between the NHL and the QMJHL during the 1982-83 season, appearing in 29 games for the Islanders, and scored his first NHL goal on November 18, 1982, at home at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Playing in his final season of major junior hockey, Paul served as team captain for the newly relocated Saint-Jean Castors. Paul joined the Islanders for the 1983 Stanley Cup Playoffs, appearing in two games as the Islanders captured the final of their four consecutive Stanley Cups.

After 213 regular-season games with the Islanders from 1981 to 1986, Paul would go on to play for the Boston Bruins and Minnesota North Stars the following season, and later for the New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets, respectively.

From Sydney, Nova Scotia, Paul returned to his home province after the conclusion of his playing career, accepting a position as an assistant coach for Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, serving in the role from 1991 to 1993 before being promoted to head coach, a position he held until 1997.

With a wealth of knowledge and experience, Paul later served in a multitude of coaching and front office positions across the collegiate, junior, and professional levels of hockey.

Internationally, Paul proudly represented Canada on multiple occasions and at both the junior and senior levels, highlighted by a gold medal at the 1982 World Junior Hockey Championships.

We send our deepest condolences to Paul’s family, friends, and former teammates during this incredibly difficult time.

Ok…..C’mon Sportsnet/HNIC…..STOP being so freaking bias in this BUFF/MTL series!!
That first period was as bad as it gets!
And this is what we get in Canada??!! YI YI YI !!
ESPN is miles ahead with because they have no skin in the game!

[Martin Pelletier @MPelletierCIO]

This would be so awesome, this way I can short it! And so that you know, I am not actually joking.

[Calgary Guy @cgy_guy]

They sing O Canada, send our astronauts around the moon, protect our shores and Canadians act like petulant 6 yr olds because Trump makes a joke and wants to rebuild his economy.

Carney used this BS to get power to implement his globalist policies.

Time to grow up Canada

@TheMrWilhauk And only 3 shifts for Dach, Frederic and Lazar. 🤦‍♂️

Only in Canada could there be more stories on the Air Canada CEO's lack of French than on causes of the collision at LaGuardia that killed two pilots and injured dozens more.

i encourage everyone to take the time and listen to Chris interview . He talks with facts and knowledge of what has transpired, that very few people have. Many of us have tried to say many of the same things for years but have been muffled , or our interviews edited .Truth is out

Almost 8 years of pain, lies, & misinformation from mainstream media. We’ve had enough.

[Jay Pylypuik @JayPylypuik]

@thackattack41 Yup

[Ryan Whitney @ryanwhitney6]

If this is true @HockeyCanada didn’t allow Wayne Gretzky in the locker room to read the starting lineup before the gold medal game whoever made the decision needs to resign today. What a disgrace

[Rick Roth @roth]

Toronto sports media remain undefeated in making Toronto the least desirable place to play.

[Marc Methot @MarcMethot3]

The media struggle session happening with Brady (and Jake) is exhausting. Just move on and play hockey. Apparently we now hold American athletes in Canada to a higher account than our own politicians. It’s comical to me.

[CRASH CONDITIONING @CrashCondHockey]

The comment on TV that “everyone is chasing Canada” is probably no longer correct. On a side note, maybe time Russia rejoins international events. If politics defines eligibility, there may be NO games played.

[Jay Pylypuik @JayPylypuik]

Re-sign him ASAP!

[Illegal Curve Hockey @IllegalCurve]

Just like everyone predicted a Logan Stanley goal at 6 on 5 with under two minutes sends this game to OT.

After the final buzzer join the boys on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show to discuss.

2026 is not going to be an easy year for farmers.
Manitoba released the Cost of Crop Production for 2026 and everyone may want to just sit this year out.

It's not quite a pipeline or affordable homes. But congratulations on building something, anything.

[G.M. Forbes @gmforbes35]

Literally the only thing he has built since becoming PM.
