The findings suggest that efforts to reduce long-term brain injuries may be focusing too narrowly on preventing accidental head collisions.

In last nights hockey game between Boston and Toronto a guy took a slap shot to the face. He was lucky that the shooter didn't hit it square so it was only probably going 70-80mph. That guy can shoot it at 108mph.
Anyway he took the puck to the face, just to the left of his nose above his mouth. There was blood, he fell to the ice and was helped off.
15 mins later he was back on the ice with stitches and a swollen face.
