A year after NHL commi sioner in response to research of a potential link between concu sions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), at least one concu sion specialist is calling for more posthumous brain donations from hockey players. Dr. Ann McKee, the director of Boston University's CTE Center, about ongoing efforts to track the damages of concu sions in hockey. And it is apparent, at least to McKee, that the NHL is still lagging when it comes to CTE findings. "We're not nearly as far in hockey [research] as we are in football because we just don't have the same numbers," McKee said, per Cooper. "It's not a systematic study, but just Zydrunas Ilgauskas Jersey anecdotally looking at the players that have come into our brain bank compared to the football players, in general I think the hockey players have le s CTE or a milder CTE. But again, this is based on very few numbers and this could change. But I haven't had the experience of seeing many, many advanced CTE cases in hockey like I have in football." This comes in the wake of football-based study findings this summer, when the New York Times revealed that CTE was found in . That study, though not an end-all, be-all ruling on links between concu sions and CTE thanks to its use of mostly brains of players who were injured decades ago, was conducted by McKee.
