NHL study: Brain injury likelier if concussion symptoms ignored ...
If you have been watching any of the Philadelphia Flyers in the Stanley Cup finals recently, you probably noticed the hard hits that are so common with the sport of hockey. But the hitting isn't all fun and games, and can lead to serious concussions and brain injuries . What makes matters worse is when players ignore the signs of concussions and continue to play, a Canadian study revealed.
The study, which is said to be the most expansive concussion research ever done in professional hockey, found that 27 percent of NHL hockey players who continued to play despite having signs of a concussions and did not receive a medical examination during the game ended up missing more than 10 days of play.
