Bryan Reynolds on Derek Boogaard’s Legacy

The legacy he left behind of helping military kids play hockey. The legacy you never took the time to learn about before popping off on Twitter. A simple Google search would have taught you his legacy, sir. What legacy? What legacy?

The legacy of Derek Boogaard, as I informed you via email, is many layers thick. Teammates called him one of the best, most selfless people they ever met, and they were all glad to have him on their side. His family made it clear just how selfless he was, calling him a “teddy bear” and telling of how many times he would drop what he was doing to help others. That’s a legacy in and of itself. A dedicated, loving man who stood up for his friends and family.
