Brock Michael Boeser (born February 25, 1997) is an American professional ice hockey player currently playing for the Vancouver Canucks in the National Hockey League (NHL). Selected 23rd overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Boeser spent two seasons with the University of North Dakota after playing for the Waterloo Black Hawks in the USHL. He made his NHL debut with the Canucks on March 25, 2017, in his home state of Minnesota, Boeser left an impressive mark by netting his inaugural NHL goal in a thrilling 4–2 victory. Boeser continued to impress, notably securing a hat trick on November 4, 2017, against the Pittsburgh Penguins, solidifying his status as a rising star in the league. Moreover, he was named to his first NHL All-Star Game in 2018.

Despite facing setbacks, including an injury sustained in a collision during a game against the New York Islanders on March 5, 2018, Boeser's stellar performance earned him recognition as a Calder Memorial Trophy finalist. Boeser's commitment to the Canucks was reaffirmed with a three-year contract extension in September 2019, further solidifying his integral role within the team's lineup. His exceptional performance earned him recognition, including being named an NHL All-Star for the second time in his career in January 2024.
