Montreal Alliance Welcome Home Montreal Native and Former CEBL Canadian Player of the Year Guillaume Boucard

The Montreal Alliance of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced today that Montreal native Guillaume Boucard is returning home to join the team for the 2026 season.

Boucard, who previously played for the Alliance during the 2023–24 campaign, returns to his hometown after continuing his professional career across Canada and Europe.

During his previous stint in Montreal, he made an immediate impact in a starting role, including a 21-point performance against Saskatchewan on July 26, 2024, while contributing across the board with his scoring, rebounding, and defensive presence.

Standing at 6 foot 6, the veteran forward brings more than a decade of professional experience. Known for his versatility, Boucard has consistently produced across multiple categories, averaging approximately 11.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game throughout his career.

Most recently, Boucard competed during the 2024–25 season with CEP Lorient in France and in the CEBL with the Niagara River Lions, where he continued to showcase his efficiency and ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor.

“Bringing Guillaume back to Montreal is special for our organization,” said general manager and co-owner Joel Anthony. “He’s a player who embodies toughness, leadership, and ability. Having a hometown talent of his caliber and experience is a significant addition for our team and our fans.”

Before turning professional, Boucard starred at Carleton University, where he was part of five consecutive national championship teams and developed into a high-IQ, two-way player. He later earned CEBL Canadian Player of the Year honours and First Team All-Star recognition in 2019, establishing himself as one of the league’s most respected Canadian veterans.

His return strengthens the Alliance lineup while reinforcing the team’s connection to Montreal talent and community as the club prepares for the upcoming CEBL season.
