    This is why I like House MD.
    Like if it was House he would have straight up told the dad that he should probably save up for funeral expenses for the next few years.
    Or say that the kid choosing a scholarship over his health will look real nice on his gravestone.

    While I see a lot of people getting on the dad's case, I'm actually more upset at the idea that someone on the other team is just playing hockey, maybe knocks into this kid and accidently kills him, not knowing about his condition. Imagine the trauma of killing another human being when all you were doing was playing some hockey. If this kid wants to risk his life, fine, but don't put that emotional damage on someone else.

      Very good point I hadn't thought off, it would be horrible for the other player they would naturally blame themselves and be devestated they may never find out that he knew he could die and did it anyway they may spend their whole life blaming themselves.

      Not true; the thing we forget is that love is an emotion. Often times, when parents have regrets, they want to make sure their kids don't suffer the same way. They want better for their kids, happier.
      So they try to make their kids succeed where they failed, emotionally believing that they are helping their kids.
      It's love gone wrong. It's why you shouldn't always follow your heart... doesn't mean you don't value it... but you don't give it the driver seat...

      Ok....NO. This is poor writing by people who know nothing. Impact events are more dangerous as you grow because your overall mass increases, your size increases, and your resilience levels off. We all see babies plop on the floor...and one in a billion leads to injury of any sort. They are very small, very short, and very pliable. Have a week where a 40 year old randomly falls on the floor and you WILL HAVE INJURIES. Keep that up for 6 months and you'll have broken or fractured bones. Adults are heavy AND tall. This is where kinetic energy, momentum, and torque become important. Impacts between two heavy hockey players has nearly 100 times the energy than the same impact between two 14 year olds. Yet the adults only have 5 times more the capacity to be hit without injury. That disparity is why hockey injuries escalate so significantly stating in high school and peak at the pros.
      This dude is going to play on one of the best college teams in the US....he's going to receive massive impacts. ITS IS THAT INCREASED ENERGY THAT WILL DROP THOSE ODDS FROM ONE IN A MILLION TO NEARLY A GUARANTEE.

    A kid that I went to high school who played ice hockey and he had a dad like this. He would dismiss any injury as no big deal, even when it was obvious to anyone that this kid could barely stand up.
    Eventually this kid wound up with a compound fracture, stemming from a non-hockey event. I did not see it, but I did see him get put in the ambulance and I swear that while his was in obvious pain, he also looked relieved too.

    This is something that happens quite often. The child catches the bug for a sport or career and it becomes part of them, then both parent and child have to either change or not change. I was literally saved by my wife , who fought be with every fiber of her being to get me put of bodybuilding and martial arts , I had a bad liver, a sickness passed through father to son, from Scandinavian genes. It was killing me , yet I pushed knowing full well what was happening, I wanted to fulfill my father's dream and I was doing it, but she stopped me and I'm here today because of it, I can now be a father to my own children and be there for her.
    I found another way, those who can't compete train others to do so lol. I did change one thing, making sure my kids have their own dreams , not one bodybuilder or martial art among my 7 children, which at first was rough, because I wanted to train them, but they didn't want it, so I didn't push them. That is the first lesson many fathers and mothers must learn, ypur kids are their own people, not just little carbon copies of you, don't be narcissistic, let them follow their own dreams and back them up!

    I graduated high school with five concussions (thankfully, I never lost consciousness). One from snowboarding and four from soccer goalie. It was me who was insisting that I keep playing but after my last one I had to develop a whole new system to do school work because I couldn't focus for long periods of time (like I used to) and had lingering headaches. I'm older now and can recognize I was definitely pressured into thinking it wasn't a big deal. Especially since I didn't pass out, but after each one, it took longer for the symptoms to go away even if the initial hits weren't as bad. It was the nurse who ran our concussion program that forced me to stop playing (definitely don't fault her and she and I became close after having to see her so often). During my senior year was when they started the concussion program because so many athletes had them, and very few stopped playing after.

      When my brother was 17, he was mistaken for a man in his mid 20s. Some young folks just look older (and the actor might be a grown up anyways)

    This is exactly how my parents are. I had a bad bone bruise and almost tore my meniscus and I wasn’t allowed to go to the doctors until I wasn’t physically able to walk.
