Breaking: NHL veteran announces that he has been diagnosed with cancer!
Keystone Press

We have a very sad announcement to report. 

National Hockey League veteran Brian Boyle has just announced that he has been diagnosed with a  type of leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, and furthermore that this is the reason he has not been with the New Jersey Devils so far in training camp.

It's an extremely sad update from an extremely well-respected NHL veteran, one that has spent time with a number of NHL teams including the Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs, endearing himself to each fan base along the way.

There does appear to be a silver lining here however as Stpehen Whyno of the Associated Press is reporting that this type of cancer of treatable and furthmore it can be treated using medication, so hopefully this means we can expect Boyle to make a full recovery. 

We of course will be keeping Boyle in our thoughts and will be rooting for him in his battle against a disease that has touched so many lives.
