Hockey community rallies around Brian Boyle after CML diagnosis
New Jersey Devils forward Brian Boyle announced he's been diagnosed with chronic myleoid leukemia on Tuesday, a form of bone marrow cancer that is treatable with medication.
Boyle assured he plans on returning to the ice soon as possible, and the hockey community subsequently made it known their peer will be heavily supported through it all.
