Hockey,

I agree that a puck to the head is not a simple matter. But, I believe Mikeyy plays goalie so his head gear is much better than the other players. It still is a hit to the head, though.

As Lynlee said, the cumulative effects are the issue.

What needs to be considered seriously is that the real cumulative problems do not show up until after 40 years old. There may be a sense of recovery at earlier ages but after 40, the recoveries become less, even if the impact was very minor.

Even the younger people showed long term deficits according to Dr Gronwall. The NFL is finally beginning to accept the long term cumulative problems from helmeted heads of linemen and running backs getting non-concussive impacts.

When will the younger people learn.

I would rather be a paraplegic than have my PCS cognitive impairments.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, especially for the short enjoyment of a hockey game or such.
