Shows us, in tender detail, a life consumed by our unholy appetites.Steve Almond, New York Times Book Review The tragic death of hockey star Derek Boogaard at twenty-eight was front-page news across the country in 2011 and helped shatter the silence about violence and concussions in professional sports. Now, in a gripping work of narrative nonfiction, acclaimed reporter John Branch tells the shocking story of Boogaard's life and heartbreaking death. Boy on Ice is the richly told story of a mountain of a man who made it to the absolute pinnacle of his sport. Widely regarded as the toughest man in the NHL, Boogaard was a gentle man off the ice but a merciless fighter on it. With great narrative drive, Branch recounts Boogaard's unlikely journey from lumbering kid playing pond-hockey on the prairies of Saskatchewan, so big his skates would routinely break beneath his feet; to his teenaged junior hockey days, when one brutal outburst of violence brought Boogaard to the attention of professional scouts; to his days and nights as a star enforcer with the Minnesota Wild and the storied New York Rangers, capable of delivering career-ending punches and intimidating entire teams. But, as Branch reveals, behind the scenes Boogaard's injuries and concussions were mounting and his mental state was deteriorating, culminating in his early death from an overdose of alcohol and painkillers.Based on months of investigation and hundreds of interviews with Boogaard's family, friends, teammates, and coaches, Boy on Ice is a brilliant work for fans of Michael Lewis's The Blind Side or Buzz Bissinger's Friday Night Lights. This is a book that raises deep and disturbing questions about the systemic brutality of contact sportsfrom peewees to professionalsand the damage that reaches far beyond the game. 16 photographs BOY ON ICE THE LIFE AND DEATH OF DEREK BOOGAARD boy on ice the life and death of derek boogaard boy on ice the life and death of derek boogaard - title ebooks : boy on ice the life and death of derek boogaard John Branchs Boy on Ice About Derek Boogaard - The New John Branchs Boy on Ice About Derek Boogaard Boy on Ice a fine BOY ON ICE The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard by John The Paperback of the Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard by Boogaard's life and heartbreaking death Boy on Ice is the richly Barnes & Noble Boy on Ice chronicles life and death of Derek Boogaard Branch explores the life and death of NHL enforcer Derek Boogaard Boy on Ice chronicles life and 'Boy on Ice' Derek Boogaard death prompts : Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Buy Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard on story of Boogaard's life and heartbreaking death Boy on Ice is the richly told story of Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard New York Times reporter Branchs chronicle of Derek Boogaards winning but ultimately tragic life as hockey Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard Boy on Ice W W Norton & Company Boy on Ice The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard acclaimed reporter John Branch tells the shocking story of Boogaard's life and heartbreaking death Boy on Ice Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard Jetcom The tragic death of hockey star Derek Boogaard at life and heartbreaking death Boy on Ice is the Boogaard was a gentle man off the ice but Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard by John BOY ON ICE: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF DEREK BOOGAARD I Boy on Ice is also the story of a boy in a Boy on Ice is the story of Derek Boogaard Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard: John Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard acclaimed reporter John Branch tells the shocking story of Boogaard's life and heartbreaking death Boy on Ice
