Profile Contributed By: Glen Jackson
History
Aaron Boogaard was the first round selection (14th overall) of the Calgary Hitmen in the 2001 WHL Bantam draft, and he was a member of the Saskatchewan entry in the Under-17 championship at the Canada Games in 2003 Boogaard wasn’t ranked by CSS heading into the draft, and even he was not expecting his name to be called, especially by the team that had already selected his older and larger brother Derek in the 2001 Entry Draft 202nd overall.
Minnesota's 9th choice (6th round), 175th overall, in 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
The younger Boogaard has only appeared in 74 total WHL games over two seasons, and this season when Calgary stopped utilizing him he requested, and was granted, a trade to the Tri-City Americans for a second round pick in the 2004 WHL Bantam Draft.
Talent Analysis
Boogaard wasn’t drafted to score goals, and so far in the WHL he hasn’t, really. He’s a physical force who can and is expected to mix it up. He is five inches shorter and about 30 lbs lighter than his older brother, but he is still a capable enforcer. He’s also a natural athlete, having once set a provincial swimming record in his home province of Saskatchewan.
