Former Hockey Enforcer Targets Canadian Leagues with Concussion Lawsuit

A former hockey enforcer has brought a class action lawsuit in B.C. (Canada) Superior Court against several North American hockey leagues alleging they failed to protect their players from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and their long-term consequences.   James McEwan, 31, the former captain of the Western Hockey League's Kelowna Rockets, reportedly fought more than 200 times in the major junior leagues. He now claims he has symptoms associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE.
