Damn, this thread is just crushing.
As for me, I am currently reading Boy on Ice. Every time I pick it up the cover image of Derek Boogaard gets me. It's not quite "sad" in the same way that many of these other photos are. But the blank look on his face and now in hindsight, knowing the pain his body and brain were going through - and what would ultimately happen to him - makes it really haunting for me.

To piggyback on the Derek Boogaard saga, John Branch wrote the book Boy on Ice about him. It's incredibly well written and only took me a week to read so it'd be a good place to get info on how the league treats/has treated enforcers and their enabling of pain medication addiction.
