[edit] Playing career

He was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft, 133rd overall. He has played for the Carolina Hurricanes, St. Louis Blues and Philadelphia Flyers. He was charged with assault in 1998 while playing with the Plymouth Whalers after a violent stick swinging incident with Guelph Storm forward Andrew Long. ^[1]

Boulerice's role as an enforcer has been reduced lately due to the NHL's stricter penalties for instigating a fight, which can now be punished by a $10,000 fine to the coach if it occurs in the final five minutes of a game.

Boulerice is known for being the victim of an Aaron Downey left hook on February 11, 2003 after failing to land the first punch, which left Boulerice with a broken jaw and a concussion. ^[2] Boulerice spent the night in the hospital as his Carolina Hurricanes lost in overtime to the Dallas Stars, 2-1.

On October 10, 2007, Boulerice delivered a cross-check to the face of Canucks forward Ryan Kesler, with his team up 7-2 in the 3rd period. Boulerice received a 25 game suspension as disciplinary action from the league, which equals the second longest regular season suspension in league history. ^[3]
