    NHL Brain Injuries

    One of my favorite documentary makers "The 5th State"

    ENJOY!


    Behind the facade of glamour & wealth, the wives of some retired hockey enforcers are in their own fierce fight. They want the NHL to acknowledge that there's a link between fights, & head injuries on the ice and long-term effects like degenerative brain disease.

    pretty fuked up canadian doctor said guy didn't have cte when he really did


    Doctors Said Hockey Enforcer Todd Ewen Did Not Have C.T.E. But He Did.


    A new analysis of Ewen’s brain tissue confirms he had the degenerative brain disease, despite what a Canadian doctor initially found. That doctor went on to work for the N.H.L.

    There are probably just as many or more concussions in the NHL as there is in the NFL, with one big difference:

    NHL = Real Men
    NFL = Pansies
