Native Olympians To Be Profiled

Native Olympians will soon be profiled in an upcoming documentary.

Former NHLer and U.S. Hockey Olympian Henry Boucha says he's identified 16 native athletes in Canada and 18 in the U.S. so far to profile.

Boucha was in International Falls yesterday to promote a book about his own life and career that serves as the inspiration for the project.

The former resident of Warroad was a member of USA's silver-medal winning teams at the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan.

He later played six seasons in the NHL with Detroit, Minnesota and Kansas City-Colorado.
