Boeser leaves first All-Star experience with cash, a car, and a canine

Brock Boeser left Tampa with quite a haul.

Making his All-Star debut, the Vancouver Canucks rookie forward proved he truly belongs among the NHL's elite. He won the accuracy shooting challenge, was part of the tournament-champion Pacific squad, and was named the event's Most Valuable Player to boot, all of which left him with an extra $551,000 in his pocket.

Here's how his weekend bonuses break down, according to The Athletic's Michael Russo:

  • $10,000: Bonus given to all NHL All-Stars.
  • $25,000: Prize for winning Saturday's accuracy shooting challenge.
  • $91,000: Boeser's share of the $1 million prize presented to the winning team.
  • $212,500: Bonus from his entry-level contract for being selected to the All-Star Game.
  • $212,500: Bonus from his entry-level contract for being named All-Star Game MVP.

On top of that, Boeser was given a 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid for winning MVP.

However, he might end up re-gifting that one:

What he will keep is a nine-week-old puppy he adopted after the All-Stars participated in a photo shoot with the Humane Society of Tampa. According to Russo, Boeser fell in love with a German Shepherd-Husky mix named Cider, and his mother took the pup back to the family home for the time being.

On top of the cash, a car, and a canine, Boeser could be in line to add another 'C' to his resume: the Calder Trophy, as the NHL's top rookie this season.
