Former Vancouver Canuck Andrew Alberts says NHL alumni are hopeful a new clinical study will find cannabinoids can help treat post-concussionneurological problems. The NHL Alumni Association has partnered with cannabis company Canopy Growth on the one-year study, and it will be led by NEEKA Health Canada. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly recently told The Associated Press the league did not expect to change its rules on cannabis. Former Canuck forward Cliff Ronning said he didn’t know any former players who have been using cannabinoids to treat their symptoms. Active players have also said as much, including former Canucks’ defenseman Erik Gudbranson, who previously told Postmedia he didn’t know any players who used cannabis.
