Brock Boeser’s time with the Vancouver Canucks felt as if it was coming to an end following the 2024-25 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With last year’s disappointment, changes appeared to be on the horizon, as plenty of questions about the direction of the team moving forward hung over the organization.<\/p>\n
In April, Boeser himself, a pending UFA, said he was unlikely to remain a Canuck beyond the season, which had everyone anticipating the star winger to walk in free agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, the hockey world was handed a major surprise on July 1 when news broke that Boeser and Vancouver had reconnected to agree on a long-term contract extension.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the team getting together for their annual charity golf event on Monday, Boeser spoke to the media<\/a> and expressed his gratitude for staying with the Canucks.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Yeah, for sure. Obviously that was a very stressful time, and just happy that it\u2019s over and done with, and now I can just focus on playing hockey. And, obviously, I said that I wanna be here from the start, so I\u2019m super excited and really happy I can just focus on hockey now,” Boeser said.<\/p>\n \u201cI said I want to be here from the start so I\u2019m super excited and really happy I can just focus on hockey now.\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83d\udde3\ufe0f Brock Boeser meets with the media at Milford and discusses his summer, moving forward from last season, and more. pic.twitter.com\/mFpkrljBu0<\/a><\/p>\n
