There is no way to completely solve this problem. It's a full contact sport which means injuries are going to happen to the body and the brain. The NHL is definitely NOT doing enough about concussion prevention though. For instance, the whole 'if a player is suspected of having a concussion they cannot go back onto the ice until cleared by medical staff' is complete crap and not enforced in the slightest.

That's my point though.
How much is enough from a due diligence point of view? If educating players and having medical professionals that can keep players from playing is not enough, then what is?
There are varying degrees of due diligence that can be applied, some more extreme than others. Even making it 100% non-contact still wouldn't remove the risk.
