AZSIOUX Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 article in herald on players taking out insurance on their bodies..great idea and this will be a growing trend for top tier athletes who have been drafted or who will be drafted early in their respected drafts...i first heard of this when willis mcgahee running back of miami took out insurance before he got his leg snapped in half in the fiesta bowl vs ohio st. i believe matt leinhart also has this along with many other top athletes across the country... from the herald article... Tim Oshie said his son T.J., a UND freshman and first-round pick of the St. Louis Blues, is not insured yet. But, Tim said it's something he's looking into. On Nov. 4, the Oshies had a scare when T.J. was checked from behind into the boards against Wisconsin. T.J.'s head was smacked into the Plexiglas, and he lay sprawled out on the ice. T.J. got up a few seconds later, though, and skated off the ice. "It does make you nervous," Tim said. http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/s...ta/13265581.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
