    There are a lot of hockey big picture issues that wil impact the future of the sport. Why no heroes? Why no individual endorsement deals that highlight stars? All about the team... but that, like fighting, is an old school idea.

    I agree for the most part.

    The players actually just lost their fight to have their battle classified as a class action suit. It'll be interesting to follow how CTE progresses in the NHL. Seems they didn't have the scientific 'smoking gun' that the NFL players had, but it really disturbs me that the NHL still denies any linkage between concussions and CTE. You have some star retired players who seem totally fine, but also several who are very sick and who've killed themselves. Listening to what Dan Carcillo has had to say really concerns me with regards to how the NHL and NHLPA seem to be sweeping this issue under the rug.
