The surviving family members of former NHL player Greg Johnson have revealed he was suffering from the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) at the time of his suicide five years earlier. Johnson's widow and daughters released the findings of his post-mortem brain tissue analysis, which Boston University CTE Center doctors say contained CTE. However, they have cautioned that the presence of CTE should not be considered a definitive cause for his 2019 suicide.

Bobby Hull, who has been regarded as one of the best hockey players in NHL history, died at the age of 84. With 604 points, the Chicago Blackhawks' winger dubbed the 'Golden Jet' is the all-time top goal scorer in club history. In the upcoming WHA, he will play for the Winnipeg Jets and Hartford Whalers, scoring another 303 goals. Hull led the NHL in scoring seven times, points three times, and two Hart Trophies as the league MVP, not to mention his 1961 Stanley Cup victory over the Blackhawks alongside goaltender Glenn Hall.
