Scouting Reports:
“Quick and electric offensive minded center, Boqvist is a fantastic skater who is unafraid to challenge opposing defenders on the rush with his speed and stick handling ability; can be prone for too often going for the homerun play but is constantly looking to create offensive opportunities for his team.” – Brandon Holmes, Riding Pine Hockey
“A speedster with lethal offensive skill…possesses a smooth-skating style and often makes use of his speed to beat defensemen on the outside…his speed combined with very fine hands is what makes him such a dangerous player…reads the play and defense well…can both find teammates with passes or deke defenders…is strong on the puck for a player his size, and is difficult to catch…will carry the puck into the offensive zone and hold on to it in order to let his teammates get into position…his intensity can go from high to non-existent so his consistency will need to be addressed…can use both speed and hands to create scoring chances…great playmaking skills, but could use a little work on his shot…his combination of quick feet and quick hands makes him dangerous…high-upside, offensive forward on the next level.” – Future Considerations
