Vancouver Canucks rookie Brock Boeser played his first NHL All Star game this weekend where he was named MVP.
The hockey star took home $212,500 as an entry-level bonus for making the team; $212,500 for being named MVP; $100,000 for being part of the winning team; and $25,000 for winning the shooting accuracy competition.
He also won a new car.
"I was pretty shocked and I would have never expected that, because so many guys on our team could have got the MVP," he said after the game.
The Canucks forward had a strong performance in Sunday's game, scoring two goals and assisting in one.
Boeser, 20, is first Canuck ever to win All Star MVP and the first rookie to do so since Mario Lemieux in 1985
