Robert D. "Bob" Boughner (born March 8, 1971 in Windsor , Ontario ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player and current coach and official who played 695 games for the Buffalo Sabers , Nashville , during his active career between 1986 and 2006 Predators , Pittsburgh Penguins , Calgary Flames , Carolina Hurricanes and Colorado Avalanche in the National Hockey League on the position of defender . Since December 2019 he has been acting as head coach of the San Jose Sharks on an interim basis , having previously looked after the Florida Panthers (2017-2019) in the NHL . He has also been co-owner and president of the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League since April 2006 .
Career
As a player
Boughner played between 1986 and 1988 in the lower class junior leagues of Ontario before he was sixth in the first round of the OHL Priority Selection in 1988 from Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds was selected from the Ontario Hockey League . These signed the defender straight away and deployed him for three years between 1988 and 1991. In his senior year he won the J. Ross Robertson Cup , the championship trophy of the OHL, with the greyhounds .
After the defender had already been selected in the NHL Entry Draft 1989 in the second round in 32nd place by the Detroit Red Wings from the National Hockey League , he moved in the summer of 1991 in their organization. In the following three game years, however, Boughner - whether the big competition in the Detroit squad - did not have a regular place in the farm team , the Toledo Storm from the East Coast Hockey League and the Adirondack Red Wings from the American Hockey League . Due to the hopeless situation to qualify for an NHL place in Detroit, the defensive player therefore moved in July 1994 as a free agent to the Florida Panthers . Also because of the lockout , which delayed the beginning of the 1994/95 season , Boughner found himself again in the farm teams. First in the 1994/95 season with the Cincinnati Cyclones in the International Hockey League , later in the 1995/96 season with the Carolina Monarchs in the AHL. It was not until the move to the Buffalo Sabers in February 1996 against a third-round vote in the NHL Entry Draft in 1996 that the Canadian made his NHL debut. The remainder of this and the two following years of play until spring 1998 he spent in the regular squad of the Sabers, before he was selected in the 1998 NHL Expansion Draft by the newly formed Nashville Predators .
Boughner belonged to this franchise for almost two playing years and had his most productive year in the NHL to date with 13 scorer points. In March 2000, the defender left Nashville as the Pittsburgh Penguins secured his services in exchange for Pavel Skrbek . After only a year in Pittsburgh, he moved to the Calgary Flames in the summer of 2001 , where he signed a contract as a free agent. Together with Craig Conroy, he held the office of team captain in the 2001/02 season , then that of assistant captain . In his sophomore year in Calgary, he improved his personal points yield to 17. Despite the successful years in the Canadian Olympic city, Boughner was given in July 2003 in exchange for two draft rights to the Carolina Hurricanes . Here, too, his stay was not long, as he was transferred to the Colorado Avalanche during the 2003/04 season for Chris Bahen and again two options in the draft . There he ended the season and paused the 2004/05 game year due to another lockout. In the 2005/06 season he let his career end in the jersey of the Avalanche and announced his retirement on June 15, 2006.
As a trainer
Immediately after the end of his active career, Boughner bought - together with the also former NHL players Warren Rychel and Peter Dobrich - the troubled Windsor Spitfires franchise from the Ontario Hockey League . While Rychel took over the post of Vice President and General Manager , Boughner found himself as President and also took over the post of head coach for the 2006/07 season . In his second year as coach, Boughner won the Matt Leyden Trophy as the best coach of the OHL season and then the Brian Kilrea Coach of the Year Award of the entire Canadian Hockey League . He repeated these successes in the 2008/09 season . He also won both the J. Ross Robertson Cup and the Memorial Cup with the team . Furthermore, he won the gold medal at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament the following summer as the coach of a Canadian junior team .
The 2009/10 season was also extremely successful for the coach. He defended both title wins from the previous year with the Spitfires and was appointed head coach of the Canadian selection at the U18 Junior World Championship in Belarus in 2010, which ended disappointingly with a seventh place. Before the 2010/11 game year , Boughner resigned from his post as head coach of the Windsor Spitfires after he had accepted an engagement as an assistant coach with the Columbus Blue Jackets from the National Hockey League . However, the collaboration with Boughner only lasted one season, so he returned to the Spitfires as head coach for the 2011/12 season. He filled this position until the summer of 2015, before he again accepted an NHL offer to work under head coach Peter DeBoer as an assistant coach at the San Jose Sharks . With these he reached the final of the Stanley Cup in the 2015/16 season .
In June 2017, Boughner was introduced as the new head coach of the Florida Panthers from the NHL. He looked after the team for two seasons, but missed the playoffs and was sacked in April 2019. He was succeeded by Joel Quenneville . A little later, the San Jose Sharks announced the return of Boughner as assistant coach, where he continued to work under Peter DeBoer. However, he succeeded him as head coach of the Sharks in December 2019 after DeBoer was fired.
