i just read about him this morning. I think he is being very smart. No matter what you do, if you are playing hockey, you cant be naive enough to think it wont happen again. its a very physical sport with constant contact. I personally think one concussion in my lifetime is enough for me....i dont ever want to go on a rollercoaster again, let alone play contact sports. But it shows that he suffered so badly with his PCS the first time that there is no way in hell he gonna risk having to go through it all again. I bet your right and he will end up retiring and choosing to live a long healthy life as opposed to the possibility of dying from second impact syndrome.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
