Allen Bourbeau’s collegiate hockey career at Harvard University was highly distinguished, culminating in him being named one of the ten finalists for the prestigious Hobey Baker Memorial Award in 1989. The senior center’s final season with the Crimson was a standout campaign, where he recorded 11 goals and 43 assists, totaling 54 points, and was selected to the All-ECAC Second Team. That year, he was a key member of the “Line of Fire” with Lane MacDonald and C.J. Young, leading Harvard to their first-ever NCAA National Championship, winning the Beanpot and the Ivy League title in the process. Bourbeau’s college achievements also included a prior NCAA All-Tournament Team selection as a sophomore in 1986 and an All-ECAC Second Team nod in his final year. Before his final season, he took a year off to play for the United States Olympic Team at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

Bourbeau’s professional experience was limited after his stellar college career. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the fourth round (81st overall) of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft but ultimately never played in the NHL. Following his appearance at the 1988 Winter Olympics and the 1989 NCAA Championship, his professional career included a brief stint in Germany with EV Landshut during the 1989-1990 season. After retiring from hockey, Bourbeau transitioned into a business career, initially in Lynchburg, Virginia, before settling in Florida.
