In a recent press conference, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman praised George Parros, the head of the NHL's Department of Player Safety, despite facing criticism from various corners of the hockey community.
Bettman defended Parros, stating that the game has never been safer under his leadership. However, some remain skeptical, urging the league to address concerns regarding issues like CTE more seriously. The ongoing debate surrounding player safety is expected to persist, with a growing demand for the league to prioritize the well-being of its players.
