He played college hockey for the University of North Dakota.
A top prospect with the Waterloo Black Hawks of the United States Hockey League (USHL), Boeser was selected 23rd overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft by the Canucks and spent the following two seasons with the University of North Dakota. He made his NHL debut in 2017 with Vancouver.

Brock Boeser trade
Last night, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman dropped the bombshell news that Brock Boeser’s agent Ben Hankinson had been given permission by the Vancouver Canucks to help facilitate a trade.
The original message seems to have gotten a bit lost in translation, as fans began to speculate about what the report from Friedman really means.
One thing that has certainly made the rounds in various online circles over the past 24 hours is that Boeser must have asked for a trade out of Vancouver if his agent is involved.
Perhaps this stems from the recent situation with goaltender Michael DiPietro, who requested a trade out of Vancouver before his agent was given permission to help find a trade solution. But that’s not the case here, according to Rick Dhaliwal and Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
According to Drance and Dhaliwal, a team official confirmed that Boeser hasn’t requested a trade out of Vancouver.
This is why Hankinson has become involved in trade talks, to help spread the word and see if there’s a fit somewhere. Boeser’s representative has been in regular communication with Allvin of late, trying to figure out where the team is going and where his client fits in, in an effort to help both sides.”
