Playing career

Boll was originally drafted by the Kingston Frontenacs, but chose to attempt playing in U.S. college, by playing for the Lincoln Stars. While there he was named captain of the Stars. After a very successful 2nd year in the USHL, he was offered a deal to play in the NCAA at the University of Minnesota Duluth. He decided against it to play in the Ontario Hockey League.

Boll was named an alternate captain of the Whalers and is a fan favorite, as he was in Lincoln. He is best friends with fellow Whaler, and 2007 team Canada World Junior Championship gold medalist, James Neal.
