Blackhawks' Bryan Bickell vestibular issue lapsed into season, per report

Chicago Blackhawks forward Bryan Bickell's agent, Todd Diamond, confirmed his client suffered from vestibular issues in the 2015 Stanley Cup Final that lapsed into the season, reports Brian Hedger of NHL.com.

Following the Hawks winning their third Stanley Cup, the winger told reporters he had dealt with vertigo. Then in January his agent stated he had an ocular issue.

Vestibular problems can be difficult to diagnose. Symptoms can be similar to concussion or vertigo. Had to rule those out first w/Bickell.
