I think you'll need to spend some time googling "Board or PCB to Wire
Connectors, maybe 8 pin or 4x2" and hope you can find something that
fits the bill. I searched images for a while but couldn't see any likely
matches.

If you can't source a replacement here's what I would do...

There's a product called Polymorph, it's a thermo plastic, normally
comes in pellet form, you put enough pellets in boiling water for your
project and leave them to go soft 
Plug what's left of your connector into the board and individually plug
in each loose pin/wire, then take your softened polymorph plastic and
quickly work it into the broken plug and pcb connector to complete the
housing around the contacts - only thing with this is it may be a one
off in that you may never get that connector apart again although you
could gently re-heat and soften the polymorph with a hot air gun, but
that may heat damage nearby components.

If you're really lucky you might find you can squidge the polymorph in
and then pull out the plug before it's fully hardened, and then shove it
back in potentially making it a reformed plug that still comes out - be
tricky to achieve though.

Good thing with polymorph is you can warm some up and practice and play
a bit before tackling the real job, and if you are happy to reheat you
can re-use/restart using the same lump of polymorph.

Good luck, whichever route you take - be a shame to loose a good Boom.
