Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on June 23, 1982)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Derek Boogaard! Your fierce presence on ice with the Rangers made opponents tremble and fans cheer wildly. Who could forget those epic moments when your toughness turned games around, making Madison Square Garden roar louder than ever?

Off-ice, your humor and kindness were just as memorable—always ready with a joke or prank that kept teammates laughing. Today we celebrate not only an incredible hockey player but also a timeless personality whose legacy continues to inspire smiles (and maybe some friendly intimidation). Cheers to you, Derek—may this birthday be filled with laughter worthy of your greatest hits!
