One of the storylines for the Chicago Blackhawks this season was the apparent improvement for Sacha Boisvert. After making his debut and looking solid in seven games, recording a goal and an assist, and weighing in at about 185 pounds. Now, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, that number has increased to 205 pounds. At the Upper Deck Rookie Showcase, Boisvert was asked about the offseason and said, “They’re (Chicago) just kind of just let me go and then just work out, like do my own things back home.” Curious about how Sacha made such a drastic improvement, I had the privilege of asking his father, Mr. Jimmy Boisvert, about the change. 

Jimmy said that a big reason for the transformation was the ability to heal from a nagging shoulder injury stemming from an incident in October 2025. Because of this, Boisvert felt discomfort during lifts, and “[it] prevented him from going all-out with the weights, but now that he has fully recovered, his physique has transformed.” 

The weekly schedule saw Sacha Boisvert with his personal weight trainer 5-6 times a week and 4-5 times on the ice. In between these sessions, Boisvert also worked out in the family-owned boxing gym. But Jimmy mentioned something interesting.

“Recently, he (Sacha) added jogging to his routine… It’s great for fitness, but also for the mental side of things.”

In our talks, Mr. Boisvert gave the Blackhawk faithful something to look forward to:

“He has set himself up perfectly for a huge season… People forget the season he had at North Dakota and the severity of his injury last season.”
