They didn't go their voluntarily. There was a lot of media criticism that became popular that they had to focus on it. The NHL isn't as big, and it's likely there's moderately less cases than the NFL/football, so it doesn't draw too much attention.
The NHL has taken steps to address head shots in the game, and the graph posted earlier shows that fighting is around the lowest it's been in the league. So steps to address future CTE concerns seems to be getting addressed somewhat.
