Risks for ice hockey players: An alarming study

At the same time, the ice hockey world is shaken by alarming news about the health risks for players. A comprehensive study by Boston University CTE Center has examined that the likelihood of developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) increases by 34 % with every year. It is particularly frightening that 18 out of 19 former NHL players showed signs of CTE. CTE is a neurodegenerative disease caused by repeated brain injuries, which explains the high number of those affected by professional ice hockey players. The report by Boston University emphasizes Ice hockey players, not just the so -called “enforcer”, are at risk.

This largest study on CTE so far shows that not only defenders, but all players in this risky sport are badly affected. The researchers warn that even players who do not take a typical “enforcer” role are endangered by the large number of head contacts during their career. The scientists found that the game frequency correlated directly with the risk of CTE, which underlines urgency to take suitable safety measures in ice hockey. The results of this study are of enormous importance for the entire ice hockey community and warn to clarify players about the risks of their sport and implement protective measures.
