Family always comes first, so it was fitting that Brock Boeser was able to put hockey aside and spend quality time with his late father, Duke. ❤️ ✍️: imacSportsnet

On the day Duke’s life ended, May 27, 2022, Brock was with him again.

Since Brock’s draft day in 2015, he and Laurie Boeser were open about the challenges Duke and the family faced. “I’m not going to lie; it has been a challenge,” Laurie Boeser told us in 2017 after Brock scored in his NHL debut – in Minnesota against the Wild. “But you know, you just do what you have to do for your family.

“I’m not saying hockey’s not important, it is important,” Boeser told Sportsnet earlier that year. “I want to win and I want to make the playoffs, and the game has already given me so much. But life … there’s so much more after hockey. Family is more important than hockey.”

imacSportsnet There’s so much beauty in Duke being able to watch his son get selected in the first round of the draft, making the NHL, becoming an NHL all-star. Most importantly Duke raised a compassionate and kind human being for a son who gives back to his community.

imacSportsnet Great story. My father has early on set Parkinson’s and is a cancer survivor. R.I.P.
