NHL Protects The Knee, Why Not The Head

from Peter Andrew Sacco, Ph.D., at the American Chronicle,
I must say I am at a loss for why the brain is not as valuable a commodity as knees are in the NHL. Rarely am I ever at a loss, but this is one of those monumental, humbling moments. I do have one theory, albeit it doesn’t hold a heck of a lot of water but hey, at least I have tried to come up with some cause-effect scenario which might explain when knees replaced heads as priority number one in the NHL.
Bobby Orr is considered to be the greatest hockey player to ever wear a pair of skates in the NHL. Even though I was young at the time, I was still lucky enough to see him play. By all accounts he could do it all. He was the complete deal! By today’s standards, no one compares to Orr, not even the retired Wayne Gretzky or Sidney Crosby. Orr had to retire in the very prime of his career because of guess what? If you said concussion problems, then you are wrong!
