TheSecretIsMe Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 TL DR; The bad news: The operation ends Boeser’s hopes of playing in the World Junior Championship -- the grand event that showcases the best under-20 hockey players in the world. Boeser played last season and won a bronze medal. The good news: The operation is expected to get Boeser back to 100 percent and UND is planning to, next month, see the guy that racked up 60 points as a freshman and led the Fighting Hawks to the NCAA national title. “The biggest thing is making sure Brock is 100 percent healthy for the second half of the season,” Berry said. “The whole first half he was battling it. He tried to play through his wrist injury and was getting to a point where needing some rest, we thought, would be the best thing for him. It wasn’t progressing to where we wanted it to be or where he wanted it to be.http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/4179938-boeser-have-surgery-wrist-will-miss-world-juniors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam126 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Witchcraft. I seriously have no other logical explanation why all our good prospects have gotten injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwags Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 This lends credence to the idea that the Canucks are cursed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 At least it won't be a huge layoff, but sucks that he had to miss the WJHC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Too bad, he should have been a leader this year for team USA. Better that he's healthy helping his team push for another title though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katobaron Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Nothing wrong with that! He's already got big game experience from his time in the NCAA, would rather have a healthy rested Boeser fighting for a spot next year than have him dragging a bad wrist around from his college days.

billabong Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Was really hoping to watch him at the world juniors hope his wrist is better so he can sign his contract with the Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBeard Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 The WJC would have been a great tourney to see what he could do and if all the hype was real. Anyways with this wrist surgery we could always fantasize what he could've been without it if he does not full fill the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyoNami Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Tough for the kid. Started the season off brilliantly, hope this surgery only makes him stronger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fatigue. Cause all Canucks (on this team or not) wind up chasing possession, which leads to injuries don'tcha know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysACanuckFan Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 That's too bad he's going to miss the WJC, I was looking forward to it but when he returns he will continue where he left off with points per game thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
