In Greenwich, hockey great recounts experience with head trauma

Source: Greenwich Time

‘Later in the season, when 6-foot 6-inch François Leroux of the Pittsburgh Penguins dealt LaFontaine a brutal blow, LaFontaine’s helmet popped off and his forehead slapped the ice. That was the beginning of a dark spiral for LaFontaine. He knew something was wrong, but doctors and trainers, who had less understanding of concussions at the time, allowed him back on the ice.’
