    The NHL's response to news that former player Derek Boogaard had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) would be consistent with its responses to prior confirmed CTE cases in NHL players. While CTE is a relevant and concerning finding, it is also a new and developing science without a proper control group for comparison. The NHL believes it would be premature and inappropriate to draw further conclusions or causal connections at this point.

    Teddy - I think our response to this news at this point would be consistent with our response to prior confirmed cases
    of CTE in NHL Players.
    Its a relevant and concerning finding, but its also a new and developing science with the lack of any real control
    group to compare the findings against. We believe it would be premature and inapprropriate to draw further
    conclusions and causal connections at this point in time.

    Subject: NHL statement regarding CTE and Derek Boogaard

    Good morning Mr. Daly,


    Teddy Katz here with CBC. Just wondering if the league has a statement regarding the findings
    that Derek Boogaard had chronic traumatic encephalopathy and at his brain showed high levels
    of the disease. Does this suggest that current NHLers may have the disease as well?
    Thanks in advance,
    Teddy Katz
