The Road to Forgiveness for an NHL Native American Hero

Former Detroit Red Wing and Minnesota North Star Henry Boucha was the victim of a savage on-ice assault in 1975. Before playing in the NHL, Henry Boucha, a native American, was considered to be one of the greatest high school players in Minnesota hockey history. But his High School career ended suddenly in the 1969 state championship game when he was badly injured and had to be carried off Minnesota’s Met Center ice. Six years later, his NHL career would effectively end on the same Met Center ice when he was again severely injured in one of the most gruesome acts of violence to ever stain the sport of hockey. But In between these troubling events, Boucha became a medal-winning US Olympian, a popular and dynamic NHL player and a role model for native-american athletes. While his hockey legacy will always be connected to that horrifying night in 1975, Henry Boucha’s life story is a lesson in courage, forgiveness and the peace he found in the wisdom of his ancestors.
