Not sure if this is the correct place to be posting this (mods can feel free to move the thread elsewhere).
Stan Mikita is the latest in the line of ex-NHLers to have been found to suffer from CTE after research was done on them after passing away. Very sad situation and I’m afraid it’s only going to become more and more prevalent.

Other NHL players who have been diagnosed with CTE include Bob Probert, Derek Boogaard, Jeff Parker, Wade Belak, Larry Zeidel, Reggie Fleming, Rick Martin, Steve Montador, Zarley Zalapski, Todd Ewen and Dan Maloney. Four former junior hockey players, who all died of suicide before the age of 30, have also tested positive for the disease.
