Brock Lesnar's legacy extends beyond his own athletic achievements as his children carve their own paths in sports. While his daughter Mya excels in collegiate track and field, his young son, Duke Lesnar, is also venturing into the professional sports arena. However, Duke is charting a course distinct from his father's combat sports background.

Brock Lesnar's son is entering the world of sports on a professional level, but it is not the same as his legendary father.Brock Lesnar is one of the most recognized figures in the world of combat sports. His children are now also following in the trail he set, but they have chosen their own path. Lesnar's daughter, Mya, has come to prominence as a top collegiate track and field athlete specializing in shot put.

Similarly, his 14-year-old son, Duke, is also entering sports professionally, but much like his sister, it is a different sport from what his father did.

Which sport is Brock Lesnar's son Duke playing on a professional level?

In an announcement made by the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League (WHL) via their X, the team has drafted Duke Lesnar as their new player. He was the 115th pick in the overall draft and has been making waves in the field of hockey at the age of 14.

Brock Lesnar's son has been playing for the Notre Dame Hounds U15 Prep team. This is a top team in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL U15). Moreover, he has also etched an impressive record. Duke Lesnar has clinched 28 points and 13 goals, which caught the attention of the Medicine Hat Tigers to draft him to their team. Much like his sister, Mya, Duke is also taking a different route than their prominent father in the world of sports.

While Brock Lesnar's children are making their own mark in the sporting world, the Beast Incarnate's future remains uncertain. He was last seen on television at the 2023 WWE SummerSlam event, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. Lesnar was set to return at the start of 2024; however, his name was linked to the controversial Vince McMahon-Janel Grant sexual misconduct lawsuit.

Previously, WWE CCO Triple H stated that he would be open to business with Brock Lesnar. On the other hand, a fan who met Lesnar claimed that he said that he was retired. With the former WWE Champion still away from wrestling, it remains to be seen if his return could happen.Also read: Is WWE legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson nominated at the Oscars for his movie The Smashing Machine?
