[Rick Westhead/TSN Twitter](https://twitter.com/rwesthead/status/1588517643925225476) Marek était l’un de mes joueurs préférés quand j’ai commencé à regarder les Avs du début au milieu des années 2000. J’ai été choqué quand il est mort et j’ai pensé que cela devrait être vu par le sous-marin.

He had stage two cte, characterized by extreme mood swings and memory problems. She also says the league doesn’t really follow up after a player goes through rehab.
I’m willing, personally, to say head injuries and the support he was able to get played a big role in him ODing.
such a shame, Marek was a fucking beauty.
Of the 14 former NHL players whose brains studied by researchers, 13 have been found to have had CTE. While the NFL six years ago acknowledged a link between repeated brain trauma and neurocognitive diseases including CTE, the NHL has yet to do so.
He was one of my favorite players from that era, too. His rookie year was insane!
