Vancouver Province "David Booth grew up hunting. He does it with his brothers, his father and even, on a couple of turkey hunts, with his mom. He does it every offseason to unwind. It's who he is. And he's proud of it. When TSN was putting together a story on him this year, he handed over footage of some of his..." May 17

Vancouver Province "David Booth had a tough first season with the Canucks and he's the first to admit it.

April 26

Vancouver Province "There's a reason only three teams in NHL history have managed to scale a three-games-to-none gorge. It's onerous enough to win four in a row during the regular season. That's while munching on cupcakes sprinkled into the schedule. The Canucks did it just twice this year, without counting..." April 22

Vancouver Sun "The Detroit Red Wings are on an unbelievable streak. So is David Booth. The Vancouver Canuck winger plans to end both tonight. Booth, who grew up a Red Wings' fan in the Detroit suburb of Shelby, has been in the National Hockey League for nearly six years. He has played 343 games, 167 of them..." February 23

Vancouver Province "The trade makes no sense if you just look at the back of David Booth's hockey card.

February 21

Vancouver Sun "He came advertised as a goal-scorer, a guy with speed and size who could step into the top six of the Vancouver Canucks and make an impact.

Vancouver Province "When is a second line not a second line? Sorry, it's a take on a bad joke, an old one - when is a door not a door? But the Canucks' second line, so promising a couple of months ago, has gone dormant. Ryan Kesler is trying to remember who Ryan Kesler was. Chris Higgins is playing through..." January 20

Vancouver Sun "The black and white of a written quote can hide the nuance of the speaker. Like when he's talking about injured Vancouver Canucks winger David Booth.

"I thought he was going to tell me what to do that night...." January 09

Vancouver Province "In a disappointing loss to an inferior team, it was a play that is bound to be enveloped and lost. In the second period, Cody Hodgson went headlong into a corner, came up with the puck. In a flash — and by peeking with a subtle tilt, not turning — he whirled it clean through the middle of the..." December 16

Vancouver Province "There may be worse times to get hurt. The playoffs are definitely one. After that, the list is short for David Booth. Just when the $4 million forward was playing like a $4 million forward — OK, at least $3 million — Kevin Porter stuck out his knee and ended a run before it even had a chance to..." December 09

Denver Post "Hours before he was scheduled to play against the Calgary Flames on Thursday, Avalanche forward Kevin Porter was suspended four games for his mid-ice hit on David Booth in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to the Canucks in Vancouver.
