Anaheim Ducks prospect Will Francis was diagnosed with leukemia. After two and a half years of chemo, Francis completed his final treatment.
As the Ducks report on their Twitter account, four players later, the young man attended the team's development camp.
His teammates and head coach Dallas Easkins paid tribute to him:
The 21-year-old 6-foot-5 defenseman was drafted in the sixth round, 163rd overall by the Ducks in 2019.
He played five games with the University of Minnesota-Duluth last season.
