Laurent’s father John was diagnosed with MS somewhere in 2007. The Brossoit family helped raised more than $8,000 in 2011 for John to be able to undergo a special treatment in Seattle to help with his MS symptoms.
The treatment is not available in Canada. According to reports, Brossoit’s initial entry-level contract with the Calgary Flames, which was worth $98,000 went toward his father to “give him a better quality of life.”
Laurent wears a mask with the inscription “We don’t know how strong we are until being strong is the only choice we have – multiple sclerosis awareness” Those words adore the back plate on Brossoit’s mask in honour of his father John.
