The Silent Killer (Hockey's Darkest Secret)...

Despite mounting evidence linking head trauma and hockey players to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, simply know as CTE, the NHL appears shockingly steadfast in denying any connection. In today's video, we uncover the NHL's darkest secret, one that has been a black eye on the game for decades.

Idk man these players now days know the dangers. If you love the game and want a cup you know what you gotta do and you get paid to do it sooo while tragic and sad you can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs.

[@beyond_thebench]

Well said 😂

CTE doesn't come from fighting.. Boxing, kickboxing, MMA, wrestling,would all be banned..

[@beyond_thebench]

It’s more the body to head impact, ground impact etc ya

[@thet3504]

@beyond_thebench yes agreed... Those hits were every game. It wasn't the fights which I think is whatbthe NHL argues. Also, Shanahan, Tucker, Verbeek, Cicerelli also fought we don't see the issues with players that also scored. It is Enforcers and the majority suffered from substance abuse.. There's a lot we still do not understand

[@disgoyknows88]

It's part of the sport, it's something that players and parents need to come to terms with.

[@petew2118]

Stupid video. Trying to put most of the blame on fighting. I guess the constant body contact throughout every game has nothing to do with it

[@beyond_thebench]

Most of the blame for the recent deaths in the last decade or so is on fighting…look at the players. CTE or not, the psychological effects are evident. I love fighting like the rest of hockey fans. Simply stating that there needs or needed to be better resources for those players.

[@JenivieveSteve]

Non-contact, no fighting hockey would be a beautiful sport to play and watch.

[@beyond_thebench]

Would be, different, thats for sure. Haha

[@faysamcface7872]

It’s called D-1 beer league, bud

[@JenivieveSteve]

@@faysamcface7872 specifically for viewing, I would want to watch the most talented players in that hypothetical ruleset.
I'm not your buddy, guy. Productive comment tho 👍

The knuckle-draggers (like Don Cherry, rockem-sockem) hate science.

[@beyond_thebench]

😂😂😂

[@disgoyknows88]

And you hate reality, sir or ma'am (or whatever fake gender you pretend today)
