[2] Bohonos played major junior in the Western Hockey League for the Moose Jaw Warriors, Seattle Thunderbirds and Portland Winter Hawks.

These criticisms dogged him throughout his career - while Bohonos had the unquestionable skill and natural hockey sense as well as an excellent touch around the net, his defensive game, and intangibles were considered below par.

In a disappointing year for the team, Bohonos was a bright light in the second half, playing well on a scoring line with Trevor Linden and Martin Gelinas, and finishing with 11 goals and 22 points in 36 games.

While he cracked the Canucks' NHL roster out of training camp for the first time, he was used predominantly on the team's fourth line in a checking role for which he was ill-suited.

After recording only 3 points in 31 games and being returned to the AHL, Bohonos was dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Brandon Convery in an exchange of struggling talents.

With Igor Korolev and Fredrik Modin injured, and Derek King struggling, Bohonos was recalled and allowed to skate on a scoring line with Mats Sundin.

[citation needed] After a year in the IHL with the Manitoba Moose, Bohonos left North America to sign with Davos HC in the Switzerland.
