New Jersey Devils forward Brian Boyle has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, the team announced Tuesday.
The condition is a form of bone marrow cancer that is treatable with medication.
Boyle has been away from the team's training camp but was made available for Tuesday's announcement.
"We are in a good place right now," Boyle said in a conference call, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
He added: "(I'm) looking forward to getting back on the ice."
The 32-year-old joined the Devils this summer after splitting last season between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs.
