Former player Cory Larose files concussion lawsuit against NHL

The NHL can't escape the concussion lawsuits being filed against them, and this time it's former NHL enforcer Cory Larose who is suing the NHL.

Larose played 7 NHL games in 2003-04 for the New York Rangers, scoring one point. He spent the majority of his career in the AHL with four different teams before going overseas and playing in Russia, Sweden, and the Swiss League.

His lawsuit, filed in Minnesota, states: "Former NHL players are uniting to send one resounding message: they signed up to play hockey knowing that they might get injured and dinged, but they did not sign up for brain damage."

Larose claims the NHL did not adequately prepare or inform its players of the dangers of the sport, resulting in "impaired brain function or deadly brain disease."

Later in the document, Larose says he intends to sue the NHL for "medical monitoring, injunctive relief, and financial compensation related to chronic injuries, medical costs, financial losses, and intangible losses suffered and to be suffered ..."
