New Jersey Devils forward Brian Boyle took home the Bill Masterton Trophy on Wednesday, awarded annually to "the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey."
At the beginning of Devils training camp, Boyle was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, a type of bone marrow cancer. He was able to return on Nov. 1, and recorded 10 goals over his first 25 games.
Boyle also represented the Devils at the NHL All-Star Game in Tampa.
