Rick Vaive Asks To Be Removed From NHL Lawsuit

((HT: Sportsnet))

Rick Vaive was one of the big names, along with Gary Leeman, that was attached to the initial list of players chasing a lawsuit against the National Hockey League- claiming the league was derelict in their administration of player safety when it came to trauma...

Now, just as quickly, the number of players in the class action suit is over 200. But Vaive wants out...

Here's his attorney, Trevor Whiffen, interviewing with Bobcat and Damien Cox explaining why...
Vaive’s lawyer Trevor Whiffen claims his client wasn’t provided with a copy of the claim before it was released to the public, and that he would not have agreed to the allegations made in the suit: “Mr. Vaive misunderstood the nature of the proceeding being brought, and believed this claim was similar to the worker’s compensation claim being advanced in California on behalf of several former NHL players,” Whiffen said in a statement.

Oops...
The HQ wonders just how many other players will back out after reading the not-so-fine print...
