Career

Youth and college

Brock Boeser was born in Burnsville and played there in his youth for the Burnsville High School ice hockey team in the regional high school league. In spring 2014, the right winger then moved to the Sioux City Musketeers in the United States Hockey League (USHL), the highest junior league in the United States. In Sioux City he had six scorer points in a total of 16 games by the end of the season , before the Musketeers handed him over to the Waterloo Black Hawks within the USHL in May 2014 and received two draft options in return. In August 2014 Boeser represented his home country for the first time on an international level when he won the bronze medal with Team USA at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament 2014 . He also won the gold medal at the 2014 World Junior A Challenge with the US U19 team at the end of the year . Meanwhile Boeser showed convincing performances with the Black Hawks in the USHL, so he led the entire league in goals (35) and placed third on the scorer list with 68 points. As a result, the winger was elected to the First All-Star Team and the All-Rookie Team of the USHL, before he was selected in the subsequent NHL Entry Draft 2015 in 23rd position by the Vancouver Canucks .

Subsequently, Boeser enrolled at the University of North Dakota in fall 2015 , for whose Fighting Hawks he henceforth participated in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) game operations. He also represented the US U20 national team at the U20 World Cup in 2016 and won the bronze medal there with the team. Boeser led the Fighting Hawks in goals (27) and points (60) and also reached third place on the NCAA scorer list, so he was elected to the First All-Star Team and All-Rookie Team of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) and was also named the league's rookie of the year.

NHL

After another season in North Dakota, Boeser signed an entry-level contract with the Vancouver Canucks in March 2017, the day after the Fighting Hawks' last playoff game, and made his National Hockey League (NHL) debut that same day , with the Attacker promptly scored his first goal. At the beginning of the 2017/18 season, the attacker established himself in the Canucks squad and led the entire league in goals in November 2017 (11), so that he was named NHL rookie of the month . He also took over the leadership of the rookie scorer list and received the award again in December before being appointed to the NHL All-Star Game in January 2018. There the attacker was named Most Valuable Player (MVP), the last time Mario Lemieux achieved this as a rookie in 1985 .

At the beginning of March 2018, however, Boeser suffered a back injury and was absent for about the last quarter of the season, so that he dropped to fifth in the rookie scorer list with 55 points and was surpassed by Kyle Connor (31) in goals scored (29) . Nevertheless, he was nominated together with Mathew Barzal and Clayton Keller as a finalist for the Calder Memorial Trophy as Rookie of the Year, which Barzal subsequently won. In addition, Boeser was elected to the NHL All-Rookie Team . He confirmed these achievements in the following season 2018/19 and then signed a new three-year contract in Vancouver in September 2019, which should bring him an average annual salary of about 5.9 million US dollars.
