*Bettman: Not enough data to link concussions to brain ailment*
JOSH DUBOW , Star Tribune

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. - NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman says there is not
enough data yet to draw conclusions about the link between concussions and
a degenerative brain ailment that has been found in four dead hockey
players.

Player safety was a major topic Tuesday as the league wrapped up its
two-day Board of Governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif.
It came a day after The New York Times reported that former New York
Rangers enforcer Derek Boogaard suffered from chronic traumatic
encephalopathy, an ailment related to Alzheimer's disease.

The 28-year-old Boogaard died in May of an accidental overdose of alcohol
and oxycodone.

Former players Bob Probert, Reggie Fleming and Rick Martin previously were
found to have CTE.

Bettman is a complete ZERO.  The reason I LOVE College Hockey is that they
DO NOT ALLOW fighting!  But I  know lots of hockey fans do like it and I
don't know why...
