The Hockey Show
October 31, 2019: The Hockey Show - Episode 371
Teebz sits down with CBC award-winning journalist, author, and musician Jeremy Allingham to discuss his new book, Major Misconduct: The Human Cost of Fighting in Hockey, and we had a very good discussion on what he saw, learned, and experienced in meeting three men whose lives have been changed by repeated concussions while playing hockey in James McEwen, Stephen Peat, and Dale Purinton. Jeremy talks about his book, the former players he spoke with and what has happened after they hung up the skates, his experiences in writing the book, and some of the science that been put forth about concussions and long-term effects on athletes who have suffered multiple concussions. It’s a rather serious and scary topic, but there are silver linings on some of the dark clouds we discuss.
