Bouchard’s Hit Raises Concussion Concerns
Description
Evan Bouchard, Team Canada’s standout defenseman, was violently knocked unconscious by a U.S. player’s illegal hit to the head in the quarter-final — earning the American a five-minute major and game misconduct. Despite losing Bouchard, Canada cruised to a 4-0 win, but the incident reignites fears about his concussion history, especially since he’d already been rumored to be showing symptoms during the Oilers’ playoffs. A tournament leader in plus-minus and averaging nearly 23 minutes per game, his potential absence could shake Canada’s defense — and fans are holding their breath for his health update.
