The sixth of August is a difficult day for Brock Boeser.

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.”
