But, it may well have been a toxic place to spend his formative adult years.

Steve Montador was also in the Hawks org 2011-13 (and it seems that's where his main concussion occurred).

At some point it seems too coincidental to be a coincidence...

Give this a read;

There are no coincidences, only the illusion of coincidences.
