Bryan Berard's NHL career was unfortunately highlighted by injuries, and now he's going to take the NHL to court over it.
Berard has filed a lawsuit against the NHL for failing to protect him from brain injuries during his career.
"The time has come for the NHL to not only care for those former players on whose backs and brains the League reaped billions of dollars, but also finally to put long-term player safety over profit," the lawsuit reads.
The lawsuit also claims that he suffered at least five different concussions during his NHL career.
The 41-year-old played with six different teams after being drafted #1 overall by the Boston Bruins in the 1995 draft. He won the Calder Trophy in 1996-97 and the Masterson Trophy in 2003-04.
The defenseman played the 2002-03 season with the Bruins and registered 10 goals and 28 assists.
