Lawrence Joseph Boschman (born June 4, 1960) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey centre who played in the NHL for 14 seasons for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, New Jersey Devils and Ottawa Senators, the team of which he was captain in his final NHL season. Boschman was born in Major, Saskatchewan, but grew up in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan. Boschman is one of only sixteen players in NHL history to have recorded over 500 points and over 2,000 PIM in their career.
He currently lives in Stittsville, Ontario, (a part of Ottawa) with his three sons, Brent, Mark and Jeff. His wife, Nancy, died early in 2006. Boschman is now part of Hockey Ministries International, a ministry that combines ice hockey with Christianity.
Boschman joined the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WCHL at the end of the 1976-77 season, appearing in three games with the Wheat Kings, earning an assist. In 12 playoff games with Brandon, Boschman had a goal and two points.
In his first full season with the Wheat Kings in 1977-78, Boschman finished fourth in team scoring with 42 goals and 99 points in 72 games, as well as accumulating 227 penalty minutes, helping Brandon have the best record in the league. In the post-season, Boschman had two goals and seven points in six games, as the Wheat Kings were eliminated in the division semi-finals.
