Derek Boogaard Dead

The passing of Derek Boogaard has taken a profound toll on the fans who knew the player best, those of the Minnesota Wild. Boogaard played the first five years of his profession in Minnesota, and in that time between 2005 and 2010, he became possibly the most beloved player in the history of the franchise.

My favourite Boogaard memory was meeting him with my brother. Tyler was on his two-week leave from Iraq the same time that Boogey came to our municipality. We waited in line for four hours to be the first to get together with him, and he was SUCH a sweetheart. Boogaard was someone that carry my brother and I closer to each other, and because of that he supposed more to me than I think most people can appreciate.

Derek came in on Entirely occasions to our establishment and was very nice! I remember helping him once and at first, not knowing who he was, treated him like anyone else. He was super kind and didn’t have any complaints. Then I found out who he was at my table and I straight away felt star-struck. He was an astonishing athlete and he will forever be missed.
