Report: Bettman to be deposed in concussion lawsuit against the NHL
Bob DeChiara / USA TODAY Sports
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is set to be deposed Friday in New York City regarding the concussion lawsuit brought against the league by a group of former players, reports ESPN's Katie Strang.
The NHL was working assiduously to keep the commissioner off the stand, but its lawyers were overruled by a U.S. federal court judge in May.
Bettman will be tested by the representative team of 60 former players, who filed a class action lawsuit against the NHL for not doing enough to protect its employees from head injuries.
