Tim Thomas, Ex-Bruins Goalie, Explains Brain Damage Suffered During Career (via NESN)
in Washington that brain damage he suffered during his career forced him from the spotlight.
Thomas has emerged from the shadows in wake of being elected to the United States Hockey of Fame. But the last few years have been difficult for the two-time Vezina Trophy winner, who revealed Thursday that he suffered a life-altering concussion while playing for the Florida Panthers in 2013. “On the ice, I was able to be like 97 percent maybe, 95 percent of what I was before, but off the ice, like I said, I still can’t choose,” he added of his final days in the NHL. “I’m so much better, but I wake up every day and basically I have to reorder everything in my mind for the first couple hours of the day and then make a list and try to make some choices to get some stuff done.”
“I couldn’t follow the game anymore,” Thomas said. “My brain wasn’t functioning well enough to be able to keep up with the game, so I sat out in the woods for a few years. I didn’t watch much hockey. There’s not much TV out there.”
