Robert D. Boughner (born March 8, 1971), nicknamed The Boogieman, is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman and an assistant coach with the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League. As head coach of the Windsor Spitfires in the Ontario Hockey League, Boughner has won two Memorial Cup championships, in 2009 and 2010 and has won the Brian Kilrea Coach of the Year Award twice, in 2008 and 2010.
Boughner grew up in the Windsor area playing minor hockey and played as a 15-year-old with the Belle River Canadians Jr. C club. He moved away at age 16 to play for the St. Marys Lincolns Jr. B team in 1987–88. One of Boughner's teammates with the Lincolns was current NHL head coach Dan Bylsma. The following year Boughner was drafted by the OHL's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds with the sixth overall selection.
In his first year with the Greyhounds in 1988-89, Boughner appeared in 64 games, scoring six goals and 21 points, while earning 182 penalty minutes, however, the club failed to qualify for the post-season.
Boughner saw his offensive production increase during the 1989-90 season, as he scored seven goals and 30 points in only 49 games, however, the rebuilding Greyhounds failed to make the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
In 1990-91, Boughner once again improved offensively, scoring 13 goals and 46 points in 64 games, while registering 156 penalty minutes, the second highest on the Greyhounds, helping Sault Ste. Marie make the playoffs. In the post-season, Boughner appeared in all 14 games, scoring two goals and 11 points, as the Greyhounds won the OHL championship, defeating the Oshawa Generals in the final round, and earn a berth in the 1991 Memorial Cup. At the Memorial Cup, Boughner was held pointless in three games, as Sault Ste. Marie finished fourth in the four team tournament.
