Man connected to death of Derek Boogaard pleads guilty to drug charges.

An ESPN report has revealed that a small measure of justice may have been dealt to a man who was involved in the death of former National Hockey League enforcer Derek Boogaard.

We say small because the man in question, former minor league player Jordan Hart, plead guilty to only a minor charge on Thursday, and furthermore according to the ESPN report made no mention of Boogaard during his plea.

From ESPN:

Jordan Hart, 33, of Huntington, New York, entered the plea in Manhattan federal court to possessing oxycodone. He was arrested in September 2014, accused of selling illegally obtained prescription painkillers to former hockey player Derek Boogaard. Boogaard, who played for the New York Rangers and Minnesota Wild, died in 2011.

There was no mention of Boogaard when Hart admitted obtaining prescription painkillers illegally in late 2010 and early 2011.

Prosecutor's had stated that Hart has sold some of his pills to Boogaard who frequently traveled to Hart's home. However as mentioned before Hart made no mention of the former enforcer and seemed to take little responsibility for his actions.

"I became an addict," Hart said.

"Your honor, I did know that it was against the law to accept these drugs," Hart said to the Judge as per ESPN.

His guilty plea to a minor charge is not much, but at least it's something.
