NHL Players Union Files Grievance Against League Over Concussion Protocol The National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) has taken a significant step in its ongoing battle to protect player safety, filing a grievance against the league over its concussion protocol. The move comes after a number of high-profile incidents, including several recent cases of players being cleared to return to the ice despite showing signs of concussion symptoms. The grievance is expected to lead to a formal hearing, where the NHLPA will argue that the league's concussion protocol is inadequate and puts players at risk of long-term brain damage. The move is seen as a major escalation in the union's efforts to ensure player safety and push for stricter concussion protocols in the NHL.
