Show Notes

Hockey has always been a physical sport rooted in violence and fighting. Over time, this style of play has taken a toll on its players and we are just now starting to understand the sport’s  long-term consequences on the brain. We discuss hockey’s impact on head trauma and the NHL’s response.
