Devils’ Boyle diagnosed with leukemia

New Jersey Devils forward Brian Boyle has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, the team announced Tuesday.

The condition is a form of bone marrow cancer that is treatable with medication.

Boyle has been away from the team's training camp but he attended Tuesday's announcement.

"We are in a good place right now," Boyle said in a conference call, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

He added: "(I'm) looking forward to getting back on the ice."

The 32-year-old joined the Devils this summer after splitting last season between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs.
