Punched Out: The Life and Death of a Hockey Enforcer

This 3-part series on the life and death of 28 year old NHL enforcer Derek Boogaard represents truly outstanding journalism by the NYT. Accompanying the copy is a wealth of multimedia content, including an extremely well produced short documentary chronicling Boogaard’s life.

After everything that happened to his older brother, I was a bit shocked to learn Aaron Boogaard is following in Derek’s footsteps as an aspiring hockey enforcer.
