Recently transcripts of the 2015 deposition regarding former players, NHL owners and CTE were obtained by TSN and among them were Boston�Bruins' owner Jeremy Jacobs testimony.�
Jacobs along with four other NHL owners testified under oath about how the NHL handles concussions.�
His answers have hockey fans pretty upset, especially when you consider the fact that fan favourite Marc Savard's career was ended because of concussion issues.�
Lawyer
- Have you ever heard of the neurodegenerative disease known as CTE?
Jacobs
- No
Lawyer
- Are you aware CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, has been found in the brains of former professional football players.
Jacobs
- I don't know
Lawyer
- How about former professional hockey players?
Jacobs
- I don't think so. I don't know"
CTE had been found in the brains of former NHLers Reggie Fleming, Rick Martin, Bob�Probert and Steve Montador before the deposition.�
Cleary Jacobs had been prepped by NHL lawyers on how to answer, and Jacobs is just protecting the league.
What do you think of the B's owners' comments?
