Study Shows Probert's Brain Suffered Signs of Trauma

TECUMSEH, Ontario — Researchers at Boston University found a degenerative disease in brain tissue donated by former NHL enforcer Bob Probert, according to reports in the New York Times and the Globe and Mail in Toronto. Probert had chronic traumatic encephalopathy when he died last July of heart failure at age 45. He played 16 seasons in the NHL and his 3,300 penalty minutes ranks fifth on the league’s career list.

Yea, ya think? Somebody get these researchers the Nobel prize for Science already.
