Wow. RIP.

I believe this goes back to his concussion. He took a hard punch, fell to the ice, and has been out since like December with a concussion and has had constant headaches since then - I can only imagine that he suffered some major brain damage. This is going to send some serious shock waves through the league in regards to both concussions and fighting.

RIP, like most people, I wonder if his concussion had anything to do with his death.

I'm not a hockey fan, and I don't know who Boogaard is. But still, this is sad news. RIP.
