Breaking: Legendary Ducks enforcer Parros named head of NHL Player Safety

The NHL has named former Anaheim Ducks, Florida Panthers and Montreal Canadiens enforcer George Parros as the new head of the league’s Department of Player Safety.

Yikes. Given his history and his new role maybe they should just call this guy “The Punisher”? Parros retired in 2014 after suffering a series of concussions and struggling with post-concussion syndrome.
