Nostradamus type views here:
This is only the beginning for the NHL, this will only get worse for them unfortunately. The league will be dragged through the mud in the coming years.
NHL will try to continue to make this issue go away, but eventually either through one big court ruling or an even more serious incident—
Fighting will be removed through league rule and the concussion protocols will be strengthened to a point where hitting could naturally disappear as well. Essentially players will be scared to throw checks.
NFL will continue to be able to deflect given its much larger American influence. But eventually it starts to creep there as well.
Largely storytelling of course, but when you read that article it’s a serious medical issue being discovered and science / courts will eventually prevail.
