Safety in Sports

Richard Zednik’sinjury has once again opened the debate about neck protection for professional hockey players. TSN recently posted a video interview with Clint Malarchuk, former goaltender with the Buffalo Sabres, who suffered a similar accident as Richard Zednik. In his interview he takes the position that Zednik should return to hockey as soon as possible even-though Zednik has been told he should be away from the ice for at least 6-8 weeks. What are your thoughts on this? Is Clint Malarchuk right or should Richard Zednik wait? Richard Zednik is a professional athlete who is getting paid a lot of money to perform so his safety be possibly endangered by returning to early because this is his job?
