Champ Kind Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (Reuters) - The family of deceased NHL player Steve Montador is suing the league, charging that it failed to properly inform him about the risk of long-term brain damage, according to papers filed in U.S. federal court in Chicago on Tuesday. Montador, found dead in his Toronto-area home in February at age 35, played 10 seasons in the National Hockey League with six teams and the defenseman sustained 15 documented concussions during his career, according to the statement of claim. The suit, filed on behalf of his son, Morrison, and other family members by the player's father, Paul, said Montador suffered from depression, memory problems and erratic behavior and engaged in 69 on-ice fist fights during his NHL career.
