Boisclair earned the title of QMJHL Offensive Player Of The Month in December 2004, scoring six goals and twelve assists in ten games.

From the period stretching from Monday, December 27th 2004, to Sunday, January 9th 2005, Boisclair scored ten goals and fourteen points in only seven games. Boisclair would finish the season with 51 goals in 70 games. In Boisclair's final season with the Saguenéens, he scored 70 goals in 70 games.
