3 ex NHL enforcers recently committed suicide. Do you think it has anything to do with Hockey or fighting?

They are people just like everyone else, depression hits everybody when you are on that downhill run.

Too many head shots and boarding in the NHL. It's a goons game even after all the changes they promised after the last strike. Probably harder on the "enforcers" after retirement because they're saddled with a reputation that's looked down on in the real world. Uless they want to be a knee-capper.

I think it has more to do with the brain damage endured through repeated concussions. There are plenty of ex football players with a history of concussions that have committed suicide as well.
