After three seasons developing within Quebec, Boucher embarked on a return to Germany with ERC Ingolstadt from the 2012–13 season. Establishing himself amongst the forwards in a depth checking line role, Boucher remained with Ingolstadt and appeared in 172 games with the club.
On June 1, 2015, Boucher left ERC Ingolstadt to sign a one-year contract with fellow DEL club, Kölner Haie.[2]
