We're still very early into the season, but thus far, everything points toward Brock Boeser being back to his former self. The winger's already got six goals, and he isn't stopping there.

OFF SEASON CHANGES ARE PAYING OFF

Brock Boeser sat down with Rick Tocchet at the end of the year, and the two laid out what needed the change, and Boeser went home with one objective in mind. The Minnesota native had previously been performing in the infamous Da Beauty League. Still, after realizing it was holding him back in his preparation, he decided not to attend this year to focus on the good things.

He also opted to work with a new trainer, Tommy Powers, a former NHL Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, and it works wonders for him. Powers already had a proven track record when working with NHLers, but Boeser is now a transformed player:

"I didn't feel like it was benefitting me. I'd have to miss my morning skates with a lot of NHL guys to go play Beauty league," Boeser said, adding the games are held Monday and Wednesday nights and trying to get to skate the following day can be challenging.

''It was something the Canucks and I discussed at the end of the year last year to switch it you,p and I worked with a new trainer. More agility, more turf stuff; it was a good summer of training. I'm just glad the hard work paid off so "ar.»

Despite having a ''down-season'' in 2022-2023, Boeser still managed to put decent numbers on the board, collecting 18 goals and 55 points in 74 games. After six games this year, he's already scored 6 goals and 8 points while being a constant offensive menace.

Everybody is well aware that he most likely won't be scoring 82 goals this year, but seeing the way he's played early this year. We may be about to witness BB6's breakout season where he finally performs up to his elite sniper's potential.
