when a young man has had REPEATED head injuries, concussions, and when the SYSTEM (eg NHL, military , football,, etc) they sacrifice their bodies for FAIL them to get the proper health, healing, and recovery WE (they) need, we have a tremendous crisis for men, and are never going to get better.
He was Amazing! The addiction he encountered was so easily accessible. Anyone in his position would have done the same! Or I would have for sure! I pray his parents are nothing but PROUD of him ❤️🙏🏴 Love from Scotland 🏴
Hockey is not for scottish people. We dont care about them
Is there a part 2 ? because I can't find it.
abusing the meds is the real issue sad,but true
THOSES PILLS ITS DANGER,I NO I USE FOR 3 YEARS AND NOW I TAKE METADONE TO FEAL GOOD NORMAL ,ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO BE WHIT OUT METADONE ,I HAVE TO TAKE THAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIVE,ITS BAD...REST IN PEACE DEREK.
*methadone
Premature endings are always sad but he lived his dream and accomplished so much. Feel bad for his family, but he probably wouldn't choose another path. He made it to the NHL and was a star. God just said it's time.
Pop's kept his head in the sand end of story. Has a stock pile of information but his classic response is to throw his hands up in the air.
We can't watch part 2 in usa?
I wonder if he would have survived if he was in the program for 8 weeks or more.
I would argue that the parents, not the "system", were to blame...classic enablers, allowing their son to pursue a career predicated on being a goon.
The system didn't fail him. You are the one who put him in boxing classes during the off season.
He really lived how he wanted and I don’t blame anyone but the guy ,Derek.,that passed away . It is a private issue and no one would know about his status.he is paying cash for the harder narcotics and no one would know
Ultimately, Derek did this to himself. The Boogaard family need to accept this or they will never find peace.
Lady J ultimately, the nhl and the nhlpa has a responsibility to take care of its players and clearly not all was done to help boogard. Boogard eventually used cash to keep his addiction to himself but substance abuse is no hidden secret. Very sad how people weren’t even shocked when Mr Boogard ending up losing his life. The doctors need to be given the power to do all they can to keep painkillers away from players especially enforcers. :(((
The hockey leagues are to blame, he has advanced CTE. shame on u
You guys are wrong for saying it's the NHL's fault lol. I'm responsible for my actions he is no better.
@@Hungmyself16 bingo!
At the end of the day you might be right. But let me ask you this: Imagine you work at a company and you are an out of control addict. What do you think your company will do? What is their responsibility? Towards their employees, stakeholders, customers etc. pp.? Yes, it is fair to say the system has failed Boogaard but also everybody else involved. It was unprofessional as hell and it did contributed to this.
Must be a toll on dad. Mom I'm sure hated the job her son got, even in spite of the riches. Dad was jazzed that his son was a professional hockey player but deep down he knew he really wasn't. His son was a paid to fight. It's great until hand hits hard plastic or a skull - pitch OR catching.
These 2 interviewing ...oi vey ...yes you pay out of pocket when you don't want insurance records kept but it does stay on pharmacy record.

I watched this twice, etc. Just to count the etc. Etc...
😂😂😂same here!!
Have a little bit of respect! What’s wrong with you? The man has a hard time talking about his son who passed away.
Dear Mr. Boogaard, your Son took the drugs and did so of his own free will. Don't "blame the system"?
Until you've walked a mile in a man's shoe's, you can't imagine what is going on his head. You have no clue what that's man went through and what his mental state was. CTE is no joke!
The guy needed to play in the NHL. Fighting was the only way to do that. He was not a smart guy and no post-secondary education. Fighting every game takes a tremendous toll. He was depressed and self-medicating. I don't wish this situation on my worst enemy. No way out.
Where is PART 2? Sad story. The NYT doc on his life is devastating. Has was a bare knuckle fighter that also played hockey. The mental toll must be incredible for these guys.

Boogards Bungolows outdoor Vacationing fun for the whole family
Very tough situation but if the Red Wings did it with Probert the Wild could have done it with Derek. Everyone says “ we’re all free do do what we want” and “ I would never do it”. Or that “ he’s an adult so let him do what he wants” that’s the mentality of our culture. If it’s not affecting me I don’t have a right to say anything mentality and when something like this happens we blame everyone. We should also remember that all addicts lie. They can’t help it. Everyone failed Derek. Everyone responsible. Some more than others. From Derek’s teammates, to friends, to family members, to Derek himself. I’m sure Derek’s family and friends know this better than anyone. Im sure they feel guilty as hell. Very few people have to live with guilt like this. It’s crippling at times.
