Gary Bettman Caught Lying About Links Between Hockey And Head Traumas
Links betwen Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and hockey have always been denied by Gary Bettman and the NHL. In 2015, Steve Montador, a former NHL player, died at only 35 years old after developing a traumatic brain injury, reportedly related to his professional hockey career.
Montador's family has decided to prosecute the NHL for Steve's death. Yesterday, Gary Bettman was on the stand for the hearing.
Bettman Caught Lying About Links Between Hockey And Head Traumas
The @NHL has reached a new low on #CTE. Defending the Steve Montador wrongful death suit, NHL says "(He was) educated by NHLPA reps about CTE & potential long-term risks of head injuries."
Yet the NHL has ALWAYS denied the link. Watch Gary Bettman say it- does this mean that the NHL is admitting they are deliberately misleading players, the public, & youth hockey families on the connection between #CTE & hockey?
If the NHLPA spoke the truth in 2013, does that mean the NHL has been lying for a decade? Thoughts welcome

Bettman claimed that Montador was warned about the risks. How could he be warned if there aren't any risks?
Which is it?
