The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard

Boy on Ice

Lily

this book broke my heart. sweet derek, who loved kids and interacting with his community. big lovable derek, who had to have extra strips of fabric sewn on to his jerseys because they were too small for his 6’8 frame. a kind, shy, polite boy who didn’t deserve what life gave him. his story is horrible, but knowing he was such an endearing person makes it that much worse. i’ll be thinking about this book for a very long time, and most definitely everytime i watch a hockey game.
