Last season, Duke Lesnar played for the Notre Dame Hounds U15 Prep team in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL). In 30 games, he recorded 13 goals and 15 assists, totalling 28 points. His impressive performance paved the way for his draft selection.

Duke was born in Minnesota and moved to Saskatchewan with his family in 2014. He is the youngest of three hockey-playing Lesnar brothers. His eldest brother, Alexander Lesnar, plays ACHA Division II college hockey for Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota. His second brother, Turk Lesnar, plays for the U17 AAA team at Notre Dame and was Duke’s teammate this past season.

The Tigers officially announced their selection on X, stating:

"With the 115th pick in the 2025 WHL Prospects Draft, the Tigers are proud to select Duke Lesnar from the Notre Dame Hounds U15 Prep!"

Duke Lesnar will start Medicine Hat Tigers rookie camp later this summer. This major achievement keeps him on track to become eligible for the 2029 NHL Entry Draft.

WWE Legend, Brock Lesnar's children are establishing their mark in the athletic fields like hockey and shot put, different from their father's wrestling career. WWE legend last wrestled in WWE SummerSlam 2023 and got tied up in allegations involving Vince McMahon.

In the Summer Slam 2023 event, Brock was defeated by Cody Rhodes. It was a heated fight with several momentum swings. Brock dominated early with an F-5 and a Kimura lock. However, he got hurt when his face went into an exposed steel turnbuckle.

Cody Rhodes started targeting and attacking the open wound of Brock Lesnar. Down the stretch, he once again went for a Kimura, but Rhodes fought and landed a Cody Cutter, followed by three cross Rhodes finishers and secured a clean pinfall victory. In the post-match, Brock raised Rhodes' arms in a show of respect.

While it remains uncertain whether Brock will return to the ring, his son, Duke, has chosen a different path in athletics and made an impressive start in his career.
