This kid coming back and stealing a top 6 spot in Hamilton would make a real awesome comeback story

Nice article, thanks for sharing. Hopefully he makes it to the NHL, would be a nice story.

My God, I knew it was bad, but 40 lbs............... Can't imagine being a parent watching that. So glad he's well on his way to a normal life.

I've been following Bozon since he got drafted and I was at that time and I'm still very high on his chances of success. I see him in Hamilton next year for 2 years and than the Habs if he develops correctly. However, I wouldn't be mad at him if he takes a couple of months off to redefine his priorities in life.

His NHLer blood and the fact that he was in top shape when he got sick surely played a role in fighting the bacteria. Very nice article .

Great story. Imagine the cheering on the day this kid steps onto the Bell Centre ice for the first time.

He's been training hard so far this summer, got back on the ice June 5th according to his twitter. He's well back on the road to recovery

Nice, just nice!

The Bozon family incurred large medical and rehabilitation costs, with the tab believed to chime in at more than six figures.

Just curious: why do they have large medical bills? I could see if it happened in the US but that was in Canada, right?

Maybe because he is not a Canadian citizen.

Maybe because he is not a Canadian citizen.

I thought that once you establish residency you can enroll in medicare? He's been in the WHL for four years, probably more than half of each year in Canada.

Curious because I'm always going back and forth between US and Canada and was wondering what kind of care we would get if there was an emergency.

Adding to this thread with this update. Looks like he's getting some muscle back. Hope he does well in training camp.

Such great news to hear about his recovery, not to mention the before/after pic. Wow!

My kids just got the bacterial meningitis B vaccination this week. The doctor asked me if I knew anything about it - I gave a pretty decent summary, based on what happened to Bozon. Not a cheap vaccination, by the way, but a no-brainer for any parent.
