Joël Bouchard is a former professional hockey player. He was a defenseman for eight different NHL teams between 1994 and 2006. In 2008, he became an assistant coach of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League team, Junior de Montréal (Montreal Juniors). In June 2011, Bouchard and several partners purchased the Junior de Montréal and relocated the team to the Centre d'Excellence Sports Rousseau in Boisbriand. He initially held the positions of President and General Manager of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada franchise. In August 2014, he replaced Jean-François Houle as head coach of the team. In May 2018, he was appointed head coach of the AHL team, the Laval Rocket.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
