It sounds like he had a really rough time over the last few years:

Quote:
He has symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, which he said are “thought to be attributable to significant brain trauma during his hockey career.”
A doctor reported that Simon — who was in more than 100 NHL fights, racked up 1,824 penalty minutes and received two of the longest suspensions ever handed out in the history of the NHL — also suffers from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and arthritis to his shoulder, hand, knees, back and neck.
Just days before filing the documents in Ottawa court, Simon was among a group of players who joined a proposed class-action lawsuit against the NHL that is seeking millions of dollars in damages from the league over its handling of concussions.
