The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Terrible news. Boyle has always enjoyed a "class act" reputation. Suspect that Boyle and the Devils are trying to keep this under wraps until more is known about treatment and how his career will be impacted. Nothing about this on NHL.com or from Devils' beat reporters.
EDIT: Devils now tweeting about the diagnosis: chronic myeloid leukemia.
#NJDevils re Brian Boyle. From team Dr. Michael Farber: Boyle diagnosed with CML. A type of cancer of the bone marrow. Largely treatable.

Dr. Farber says it was caught early on. Treatable with medication.

Just plain horrible. All the best to him and his family.
