News about Henri Richard

According to Henri Richard's family, the late Hockey Hall of Famer has been diagnosed with chronic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease related to concussions. 'I hope my father's brain donation and illness will result in more prevention, study, and eventually a CTE therapy,' Denis Richard, Henri's son, said on Wednesday, the day after the championship match was clinching. "I want people to know that this is affecting athletes way beyond football.' Richard, who died in 2020 at the age of 84, was diagnosed with CTE by Dr. Stephen Saikali of Université Laval in Québec City. Memory loss, sadness, and violent mood swings in athletes, combat veterans, and those who suffer from repetitive head injury can only be diagnosed posthumously.
