In October, he was further diagnosed with cysts growing on both his hip sockets, with the left one leaking fluid into his hip and was subsequently released by the club. He returned to the United States and signed with Kansas City Knights of the American Basketball Association. In February 2005, he signed with Grindavík of the Icelandic Úrvalsdeild karla. He appeared in six regular season games, averaging 17.0 points and 4.0 assist per game. In the playoffs, Grindavík lost in the first round against eventual champions Keflavík in three games where Boschee averaged a team high 22.3 points and 3.3 assists per game.
