Concussionsare a “silent injury” that leave no visible signs, no bruises, often no noticeable indication at all that an injury has taken place. But they come at a high price. Just ask Sidney Crosby,Marc Savardor Keith Primeau.
This subtle and debilitating condition, caused by a blow to the head, can go undiagnosed in the midst of competition and for many years after.

Are multiple head shots during a fight any different than an elbow to the head? 

Can players continue fighting internally to keep their fourth line role as a gladiator without serious side effects? 

Get your head in the game and be part of the controversy and conversation that concerns the well-being of hockey players at all ages.  This is an encore presentation of BEYONDtheCheers that originally aired on March 16th with guests Dr.Blaine Hoshizaki, Keith Primeau, and Jim Thomson. This show is as relevant today then when it previously aired LIVE. Plus there are additional and updated comments at the close of the show as we continue to talk about the hottest topic plaguing sports today.
