In afirst-person essayon The Players' Tribune, former NHL defenseman Nick Boynton chronicled his battle with the lingering effects of multiple concussions and indicated he doesn't want his three-year-old son to follow him in playing hockey.
Boynton wrote he had eight to 10 confirmed concussions as a player from 1999 to 2011 but that "actually more like 20 or 30 of them altogether, and even that might be a bit low."
"With me, there have been times when the anger has been so bad that I legitimately worried that I might hurt someone, or that I'd injure myself," Boyton wrote.
