Summary
Claude Lemieux’s brain is being donated to Boston University’s CTE Center to advance research on long-term effects of head injuries in athletes. At 60, the legendary NHL enforcer—known for his gritty play, four Stanley Cups, and 1,500+ games—passed away, and his family supports the donation as a tribute to his legacy and a step toward protecting future players. Though he became an agent to mentor young athletes, his family emphasizes this donation is for broader scientific understanding, not individual diagnosis.
