I recently read a study on soccer players that demonstrated that they had much higher levels of brain cell damage which was believed to be caused by heading the ball often.
Taking pucks off the mask seems like it would have a similar level of impact.
For a young player who’s already had a concussion that was further exacerbated by flying shortly after, things don’t look great for Demko.
Hate to see stuff like this because head/brain issues go way beyond just hockey, it’s life altering stuff.
Not trying to sound all doom and gloom for Demko, I’m confident he can recover from this, but it’s something that can get worse and worse with every new incident so I hope that he can avoid future issues.
