Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links: Carcillo Pledges Brain To CTE Research

As we watch these Stanley Cup Playoffs, the same conversations continue to come up that have all season. We don’t really know what goaltender interference is, and we still don’t have a definite rule for illegal hits to the head. Although the NHL’s player safety rule book may change at a slower pace than fans want it to, one former Chicago Blackhawks player continues to demand more information about how we can protect our players in the game we love watch.

Daniel Carcillo’s good friend and former Blackhawk Steve Montador passed away after suffering from depression and degenerative brain disease, and since then Carcillo has been working hard to spread awareness on behalf of his good friend.
