Then it is on the parents, coaches, leagues and volunteers of all hockey organizations to educate the players about the risks. With all this talk these days about concussions, you don't think they have been told "it could happen to you" over the years. Sorry but they have been educated to make an informed decision about continuing to play. Many athletes will choose the play now, deal with injuries when I retire motto because they enjoy playing the sport so much that they would rather sacrifice their future.
Education is out there, someone entering into the NHL knows the risks in the year 2020. Maybe not 10 years ago, but I highly doubt any kid going to the NHL thinks they won't get hurt playing professional hockey.
