Simon, who was one of hockey’s most feared tough guys, died at the age of 52
New York Rangers' Chris Simon celebrates after scoring a goal against the New York Islanders, on Feb. 26, 2004.
Simon’s loved ones believe chronic traumatic encephalopathy played a significant factor in his suicide. Researchers at New York’s Columbia University came to that conclusion after analyzing data from 6,039 players from 1967 through the spring of 2022. Two neurodegenerative disorder deaths, two drug overdoses, three suicides and four vehicular crashes were attributed to the 331 players identified as enforcer/fighters, compared to just one car crash death among the age-matched control group.
Once a staple of NHL games, fighting has seen a steep decline as the sport has become faster and more skilled – but it’s certainly not gone, with fisticuffs coming roughly every four or five games.
