Ex-NHL players allege that the League was putting Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in a bad light, as reported by Law360. CTE is a neuro-degenerative condition due to concussive blows to the brain and can only be diagnosed by a medical examiner via autopsy. The NHL argued that the medical examiner should disclose his evaluation of the players. The players allege that the NHL is seeking to “get a leg up on expert discovery…in hopes of gaining whatever advantage might come from premature expert discovery.” Changes in personality, sleeplessness, severe depression, headaches, and loss of memory are all signs pointing to CTE. The former NHL players are represented by attorneys at Zimmerman Reed.
