NHL bans blindside headshots over concussion concerns
Posted on Thursday, March 25th, 2010 at 11:55 am
The National Hockey League Players Association has agreed to a new rule proposed by the sport’s governing body banning blindside headshots over concerns that they were potentially causing concussions, ending careers, and causing life-long brain damage. If you or someone you love has received a brain injury as the result of an accident, the New Jersey brain damage attorneys of Levinson Axelrod may be able to help you get the compensation you deserve.
A poll of players showed them solidly in favor of the agreement, which could go a long way in limiting the number of serious concussions in the National Hockey League. Under the law, any blindside hit will be reviewed and judged for supplementary discipline.
