No, this is just because there isn't a compensation system in place that most people are privy to. If you lose your hearing over time, WCB gives you hearing aids. But also, if you break your arm, you get paid by WCB until your better.
With hockey there's no compensation system. Short term injuries fall under private Insurance. But there's really nothing in place for long term injuries like CTE, hence the only option is lawsuit. That's the norm for any business not subjected to workers compensation laws.
