After three seasons in the Motor City, Horeck was traded to the Boston Bruins in a multi-player deal in the summer of 1949. He played two years there before finishing out his NHL career back where it all began in Chicago.

Although Horeck played on a Detroit team that advanced to the Stanley Cup finals in both 1948 and 1949, he never played on a championship winner, losing both years to the Toronto Maple Leafs. After retiring from the Blackhawks, Horeck played senior hockey in Northern Ontario until 1957 and then had one final 15-game stint with Charlotte of the EHL in 1959-60.
