Playing career

Following the 2018 NHL entry draft, where he was selected eight overall, Boqvist signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks.

After two injury-plagued seasons with the Blue Jackets, Boqvist having fallen down the depth chart on the blueline for Columbus was placed on unconditional waivers and later bought out from the remaining year of his contract on 30 June 2024. [10] On 9 July, Boqvist signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Florida Panthers for the 2024–25 season, joining older brother Jesper who had also signed as a free agent over the summer.
