Moore, now 28, has recovered from his neck injury and facial cuts, but hasn't played hockey at any level since. He continues to experience the effects of postconcussion syndrome — the headaches and inability to focus or concentrate.

"I couldn't do anything for a while, but I pushed and pushed over a period of time so I can train at a high level," he said. "But it's at the high levels that I have intense problems. . . .
