When softball players and fans talk about the best power hitters produced in Manitoba, Cam Bouchard always is among the first mentioned. His career began as an 18-year-old shortstop and lasted 20 seasons. From 1958 to 1965, the second baseman starred for the Kiewel Seals/Manitoba Clothing team that won five Winnipeg senior A championships and finished second twice. In 1969, he was named to the Manitoba team that competed in the inaugural Canada Summer Games and he played for Manitoba Black Knights in the 1970 Canadian championship. Cam joins his wife Grace (2002 inductee with the 1965 CUAC Blues) and his late brother Leo (2003 inductee) in the Manitoba Softball Hall of Fame.
