No CHL title, no Memorial Cup, no World Junior gold, other guys have done one of those things multiple times. Sidney Crosby has three times the cup wins, two Olympic medals, a World Junior gold, and individual awards up the wazoo.
Again, amazing for Bouwmeester to have those three things, and I have no ill will towards him in regards to him time in Calgary.. but one of the most decorated, most accomplished players in hockey history?  No sir. |
He played in the World Juniors at 16, 17 and 18 during Canada's 8 year slump.
Youngest ever to play for Canada 16 years 2 months as a defenseman!
