Roman Rotenberg supported the creation of the Department for Protection from Brain Breedhes. - What do you think, will the Department of Combating Breaks of the Brain once appear in our league? The NHL has, there are 18 people, including professors. This is a very serious problem, taking into account the reduction of the sites - there is more power struggle. Is it necessary to create a special department for protection against concussions in the KHL?
- absolutely definitely necessary. We know the consequences of concussions. At press conferences, I talked about Eric Lindros. Such an example when one of the most talented generation players, Next One, as he was called, received serious head injuries - now there are health problems. Very serious. Including memory loss.
We must understand that after a hockey career, players should be healthy in order to manifest themselves in other professions. Maybe become coaches, maybe managers. We must protect our players, and we also need to think about creating a special commission so that there are no concussions.
Players sacrifice their health. With all due respect to journalists, to judges, managers, even coaches - players sacrifice their health on the ice. We must protect them all together. Because players are our main asset, ”said SKA head coach after the match Fonbet of the KHL championship with Dynamo (1:3).
Note that now at the NHL matches there are special observers who have the right to remove the player from the match for passing the express testing for concussion in the presence of suspicion.
