Brock Boeser takes high school student with Down syndrome to prom

It's prom night for Brock Boeser.

The University of North Dakota freshman star is taking homecoming queen Baylee Bjorge - a 19-year-old student born with Down syndrome - to Grand Forks Central's prom.

Bjorge originally reached out Boeser, but the date wasn't without the Vancouver Canucks first-round prospect's courtship.

According to the Grand Forks Herald, Bjorge's mother shut down her daughter's social media accounts after she had sent an invitation Boeser, but also before the North Dakota star had a chance to respond.

This prompted Boeser to track down the family's contact information, and ask if Baylee was still interested in having her favorite player accompany her to prom.
