Trivia
Boogaard is noted for a humorous incident that happened during a prospects camp in 2001. When trying to check another player on the ice, Boogaard missed him and crashed into the boards with such force, that he went through a pane of glass, and over the board. Boogaard stepped back onto the ice seconds later. A replacement pane was adorned with a drawing of a person. [1]
Boogaard's knockout of fellow enforcer Todd Fedoruk helped spark debate over increasing the punishment for fighting in the NHL [2]
Boogaard and his brother Aaron run the Derek and Aaron Boogaard Fighting Camp in Regina, Saskatchewan, for children ages 12 to 18. This has sparked some controversy, with some people siding with the Boogaards, saying that they are teaching children how to not get hurt in a fight, and others opposing them, with the position that the Boogaards' camp was merely encouraging children to fight.[3]
