    Get checked fellas can happen to anyone of us glad they got it and hope he’s better soon

    This is so shocking and heartbreaking to hear. The guy was coming off his best season yet and was one of my favourite players. To find out about this is crushing, not for the team, but the individual. Dakota is a standup guy that any team would be blessed to have.

    I wish him the best in terms of a speedy recovery.

    Good for Joshua being so open about this, and glad to hear he’s doing okay. Sucks for him and his family and though, that is very scary.

    The Canucks curse continues…

    TAKE MY TESTICLE JOSHUA

    In all seriousness, this is super scary and can totally happen to anyone. Super relieved it was caught early, and hopefully he’ll be back to 100% before long. This is a great reminder to do a little check every now and then in the shower, boys.

    Thankfully, my balls feel fine. Check yours fellas.

    How long does recovery tend to take from this?

    Dak’s only gonna come back stronger now! 

    That’s scary stuff, hope he has a speedy recovery! 

  8. Oh man… I am glad he got it checked and is now recovering. Get well Dak, hope to see you on the ice soon!

  9. TheIncredibleHork

    Glad he’s doing well and recovering. I had a friend who developed testicular cancer, had a very bad time of it, lost one of his boys and even ended up in a coma for a while. It’s nothing to mess around with.

    Hope he gets a speedy recovery and comes back with a vengeance

  11. RooniltheWazlib

    Hope he has a complete + quick recovery. I’m nervous knowing that a guy only a few years older than me could get testicular cancer, even one as presumably fit and healthy as a professional athlete. I’ve never really been taught how to properly check yourself for this kind of thing either

  12. BeefjerkyMuncher69

    I knew this guys balls were too big to be true… Rest up Dak

  13. Viciousspacepebbles

    I had the same thing happen. Something seemed off and I wanted to ignore it. Decided I really should get checked and it was cancer. I was in surgery within 4-5 days and I am 100% in the clear. Was scary but ended up being a super smooth process.

    Check regularly and if something is weird, don’t be afraid to get it checked out.

  14. JTMilleriswortha1st

    Can’t wait to see him come back stronger

    I think I watched Dak’s game 1 go ahead goal against Nashville at least once a week this summer. He’s a battler on the ice and off. Take all the time you need to heal Dak, long term health is way more important than hockey.

  16. Wild-Piece-8000

    Best of wishes Dak! Praying for a speedy recovery and cant wait to see you tear it up this season!

  17. TheGreatGoddlessPan

    Well that’s a shitty shit sandwich

  18. COFFEECOMS

    I got colon cancer. It is “worse” than ball cancer. Hard to cut out your guts. Get your butts and guts checked if you are over 50 or genetically at risk.

  19. NerdPunch

    Shout out to Dakota Joshua for this statement. Excited for when he joins the team In the words of J-Roc, it can happen to you because it happened to me.

    The silver lining here is, it opens up opportunities for other guys in the lineup. Guys like PDG and Sammy Blais have an opportunity to earn a roster spot.

  20. VitaminOWN

    Oh wow, that’s terrifying and unexpected. Hoping the best for Joshua. Had a friend in high school that has been in remission for a decade for a brain tumor.

  21. Squancher_2442

    Man that is a tough one. Here’s hoping he’s ok.

  22. TheodoraD

    Good to hear him address the situation. Hopefully, this clears things up moving forward

  23. Blackhole_5un

    Good healing valiant warrior! Your health is most important, the boys will be ready for your return, no pun intended.

    Good thing he noticed an issue and had it checked. Good reminder to everyone, give em a tug now and again, just in case!

  24. therocksays13

    This is something I have faced. With proper treatment he’ll be up and bodychecking in no time.

  25. Alpacaduck

    Shoot. DJ was one of the biggest followers of “Embrace the Hard.”

    Morbid humor aside, prayers to DJ for a complete and speedy recovery.

  26. KingInTheFarNorth

    Fuck cancer. Glad Dakota caught it early, there’s always a low chance it comes back on him, but if they caught it early enough he has a 99% chance of being in the clear.
