Bloody hockey cards celebrate NHL enforcers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
A Canadian sports card company is releasing a series of blood-spattered hockey cards celebrating the game's enforcers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The cards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from In The Game trading cards, feature many of the NHL's best-known bruisers over the years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such as Marty McSorley, Dave Manson, Jimmy Mann,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tie Domi and Dave Schultz.
Many of the cards are decked out with fake blood spatter and bandages,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while others include blood-stained pieces of fabric from game-worn jerseys. 31, an apparent suicide, sources have told CBC News. Lorraine Belak said the family has asked to see her son's card and will decide whether to keep it in the series.
Fellow NHL fighters Derek Boogaard and Rick Rypien were found dead in their homes in May and August, respectively.
'I'm not glorifying violence. I'm paying tribute to the players.'-Brian Price,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], owner of In The GameBoogaard died of an accidental overdose from a combination of too many painkillers and alcohol. Rypien, who had sought help in the past for depression, committed suicide.
The hockey card set also includes Bob Probert, an enforcer who retired in 2002 after 16 NHL seasons and died in July 2010 of a heart attack.
Georges Laraque,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], another featured player, gave permission for the company to use his photo but didn't realize there would be fake blood splatters on the card.
"To have a picture with blood, it's showing I'm agreeing with violence . that's not the image I want to portray to kids,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Laraque told CBC Radio.
Laraque has asked the company to clean up his card and get rid of the blood or pull it altogether.
A Boston University neurosurgeon who studied the brains of deceased athletes found Probert had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a degenerative brain disease caused by blunt impact to the head.
The neurosurgeon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Robert Cantu,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said symptoms of CTE include memory loss, impulsiveness,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mood swings and addiction.
Earlier this month,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it was revealed that Boogaard suffered the same disease.
Brian Price, owner of In The Game trading cards in Ontario,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said he's trying to capture the history of hockey and feels the enforcer series "is bringing attention to the players who do the work in the trenches."
