Ten former National Hockey League players are claiming in a class-action lawsuit that the league hasn't done enough to protect players from concussions.
When the news of Acadie-Bathurst Titan prospect Jordan Boyd’s tragic death broke, the hockey world went into a collective state of mourning.
Boyd, 16, collapsed during a training session with the QMJHL team Monday and first responders were unable to revive him. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Teams and players from around North America passed along their sympathies and condolences on social media:
It is with deep regret that the Acadie-Bathurst Titan announces the death of one of its young prospects, Jordan… http://t.co/xsL1doJtdq
