Brian Boyle 'completely blown away' by support offered after leukemia diagnosis

Brian Boyle is feeling the love.

The New Jersey Devils forward, who has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, took to Twitter on Wednesday to offer a message of thanks and supplication.

Here's the message, posted in four separate images featuring the jerseys of teams Boyle has played for at the NHL level - New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs and Devils:

My family and I are completely blown away by the incredible support we have received. I have heard from thousands of people - family, friends and members of the hockey community I've never met. Everyone has been touched by someone in my situation, and I've learned one thing here, people are truly great.

I know that prayer can move mountains, so any kind of support and prayers they want to send will always be accepted and much appreciated.

Boyle's condition is a form of bone marrow cancer that is treatable with medication, and there's no word on when he may be able to resume his career.
