Doctors for Sidney Crosby say the Pittsburgh Penguins forward won’t return to the ice until Christmas at the earliest because of the concussion he sustained in January.
That news prompted suggestions retirement could be in his near future. Crosby himself said Wednesday he thought about it, but that it is not an option for him.
To learn more about why it takes so long to recover from such an injury, CityNews reporter Avery Haines talks to Toronto neurosurgeon Charles Tator about the ability for hockey players to withstand repeated concussions, injury prevention and ways to make the game safer for players.
