“Duke’s been asking numerous times today: ‘Don’t we have to go? Don’t we have to go?’ So he’s obviously excited about it,” Laurie Boeser said of her husband, who hasn’t attended a game since he suffered a heart attack last July. (Via imacSportsnet)
ST. PAUL, Minn. – You wouldn’t know it Saturday from the commotion inside Laurie Boeser’s family room, but the’ 6-3 win against the Buffalo Sabres was not the big game they’ve all been waiting for.
Duke Boeser hasn’t attended a game since he suffered a massive heart attack last July 29 when he collapsed in the family home in nearby Burnsville, Minn. His heart stopped for 15 minutes while Laurie and a flooring contractor, who happened to be at the house, performed CPR until paramedics arrived. It stopped again after Duke was taken to hospital.
From the September day Brock peeled himself away from his father to return to Vancouver and the National Hockey League, the 22-year-old winger has been waiting for Jan. 12, hoping and praying his dad would be well enough to come see him play against the Minnesota Wild. “When something tragic like this happens, you really live in the moment. You look around and look at life and realize what’s really important. My dad’s gone through so much, but this last thing really shook us.”
