Devils forward Brian Boyle to make season debut six weeks after cancer diagnosis
VANCOUVER — Brian Boyle says he wakes up every day thinking about hockey.
After a difficult six weeks, the New Jersey Devils forward will be back playing the game he loves on Wednesday night.
Boyle, who was diagnosed with cancer in September, is set to make his season debut against the Vancouver Canucks.
“It’s been a long road,” the 32-year-old said after the Devils’ morning skate at Rogers Arena. “I’m excited.”
