On July 1, Brock Boeser extended his contract with the Vancouver Canucks for three years. But his start to the 2022-2023 season has not been very inspiring. He had just had surgery on his hand, which slowed him down a bit.
Not only that, but he had no mind for hockey. His father passed away in May and he was still in mourning. He was so unhappy with his situation that he even asked his agent, Ben Hankinson, for a transaction. He quickly canceled his request, but he wanted to breathe new life into his situation, a new beginning.
For a long time, he even resented hockey.
I’m now more willing to talk regarding it with you…it’s not easy to explain this to teammates, especially if they haven’t been through this. I don’t want to say that I hated sports: I never hated hockey. –Brock Boeser

Like most of his teammates, Boeser had a season that fell short of expectations. The American has scored 18 goals following netting at least 20 in four of his previous five seasons.
Right now, the right-hander is at peace with himself and he feels happier than ever. He wants to work for his new head coach, Rick Tocchet.
As for his father, seeing his son play in the NHL was his dream. Brock therefore wants to continue to realize the dream of his father.
I just wanted to take a step back and I realized that my father’s dream was to see me play in the NHL. Why should I stop? –Brock Boeser
Hopefully next year, the Canucks’ No. 6 will have a season worthy of his immense talent, now that he’s at peace with all the situations he’s been through for the past few months.
