The sixth of August is a difficult day for Brock Boeser.
But given a chance to play in a playoff game on the anniversary of his friend’s death, Boeser did something special: scored a goal in the @Canucks’ 3-0 win over the @mnwild. (via @imacSportsnet)https://t.co/DFn0rM4moc

Laurie Boeser, Brock’s mom: “A few of the boys went over to the grave today, which Brock would have done. There is a purpose and a meaning when he’s out there playing hockey. He appreciates his opportunity to be a pro, but he also knows he’s playing for others, too.”
