Dan Boyle spent 17 grueling seasons as an NHL defenseman, and after his retirement following the 2015-16 season, a career in hockey coaching or management might have been a logical next step.
But instead, the 41-year-old has taken an alternate path. Having missed spending time with his wife, Amber, and two daughters during so many hockey seasons, Boyle said he enjoys being a stay-at-home father in Los Gatos, California, outside San Jose, and is building a home in the area.
