This summer, Vancouver Canucks forward Dakota Joshua was diagnosed with testicular cancer and had surgery to remove a tumor.
At 28 years old, Joshua is recovering from the operation and aims to play in the 2024-25 season. He found a lump on his testicle, which was subsequently identified as cancerous.
Joshua has expressed gratitude for his support system and is diligently working to return to play as soon as possible this season.

He encourages men to undergo regular checks for testicular cancer, highlighting the importance of early detection.
The team will keep everyone informed about Joshua's recovery, and he has asked for privacy on the matter.
