"Searching for a drug source

The Ambien had been prescribed by the New York Rangers, but not the Percocet. Boogaard began asking Rangers teammates if they had Percocet connection. According to the indictment, a teammate agreed to look for a source and asked Hart if he would supply Percocet to Boogaard.

Boogaard allegedly drove from Manhattan to Huntington, Long Island to purchase the painkillers from Hart, paying with cash or personal check. According to the indictment, the drugs often came from prescriptions written by Oscar Johnson in Utah. The pills were then mailed to Hart in New York.

In March 2011, Boogaard attempted to return to practice with the Rangers. But at an early April 4, 2011 practice, Boogaard could “barely stand up while skating†and appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance. On April 5, 2011, he was admitted to a substance abuse rehabilitation center in California."
