Johnny Boychuk Is Officially Returning To The NHL

Longtime NHL defenseman Johnny Boychuk is returning to the NHL! The Islanders announced that Boychuk has signed a deal that will immediately place him in a player development role with the organization.

Boychuk was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2nd round of the 2002 draft. He won a Stanley Cup with the Boston Bruins in the 2010-2011 season and played most recently for the Islanders from 2015 until he retired in 2019.
