(The fight is here.)
"He missed the complete second half using a concussion. But I feel we will need to wait till the autopsy and we'll uncover out what happened," mentioned Russo, who write that the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office will conduct the autopsy on Saturday.

We received a single such remembrance from a pal of Boogaard's that presently functions for an NHL team:
I have acknowledged Derek for 7 years. I am just genuinely in shock appropriate now. Derek was an amazing particular person constantly smiling and joking.
He was such a tough worker if there was an optional day Derek was generally there. He thought all practices for him have been mandatory. He in no way took for granted that he was an NHL player. He was genuinely major into charities. Very outgoing. He had a definitely funny sense of humor. Constantly creating individuals laugh or lightening the mood.
The funniest point about Derek was just after a game he would leave the arenas dressed like a school teacher with his sweater vests and glasses.
