The more years ice hockey players spent on the ice, the more at risk they were for developing severe chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a recent cross-sectional study found. The results are in line with previous findings about American football, with similar implications for neurological degeneration, the researchers noted in JAMA Network Open.
