Montador became an NHL regular in 2004. The science wasn't what it is now, but people were starting to become aware, and there's also the common sense factor. Pretty easy for people to deduct that repeatedly getting hit in the head isn't a good thing. They were starting to make a big deal about concussions back in the late 90's when I was playing high school football.
Does anyone actually believe that Montador would have quit playing hockey even if he was 100% aware of the risks that we are today? Not a chance.
