    Rangers forward Derek Boogaard found dead at 28

    CBSSports.com wire reports
    May 13, 2011
    NEW YORK -- New York Rangers enforcer Derek Boogaard has died. He was 28.
    The team announced Boogaard's death on Friday night, but gave no details.
    "Derek was an extremely kind and caring individual," Rangers president and general manager Glen Sather said. "He was a very thoughtful person, who will be dearly missed by all those who knew him. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family, friends and teammates during this difficult time."
    Boogaard signed a four-year, $6.5 million deal with Rangers in July and appeared in 22 games with them last season. He had a goal and an assist to go with 45 penalty minutes.
    One of the most feared fighters in the league, Boogaard missed the last 52 games of the regular season with a concussion and shoulder injury and did not play in the playoffs.
    Boogaard began his NHL career with Minnesota and appeared in 255 games with the Wild from 2005-10.
    In 277 regular-season games with Minnesota and the Rangers over six seasons, he had three goals and 13 assists and 589 penalty minutes.
    The Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, native was Minnesota's seventh-round choice, 202nd overall, in the 2001 draft

    RIP DEREK

    Unreal. RIP Boogy. He was in my gym class in grade 12. Guy was a gentle giant with a big heart. Crazy how all these young athletes are dropping dead so young.

    Yeah man this is sad. I use to have season tickets to the Aeros down here in Houston. The Wild's minor league affiliate. I watched him grow up the ice. He was the best enforcer I've seen in person. I'm interested to see what happened. I really hope it wasn't a drug overdose.

    Probably a combo of concussions, roids and living the fast life........ this is really unfortunate and I hope my reasons for his passing are wrong and it was a natural cause. Rest In Peace Boogieman.

    I have a feeling they will find that he passed from too many concussions and blows to the head. Nevertheless, his presence will be missed on the ice. RIP Boogie Man
