There are just six lawsuits pending against the National Hockey League regarding concussions and head injuries.

Tuesday morning at the federal courthouse in Saint Paul, lawyers for the NHL announced 133 of the 139 cases brought by former players have either been settled or dismissed.

The original lawsuit against the NHL was filed back in 2014 and accused the league of downplaying the risks of concussions and head injuries. It also claimed the NHL promoted violence in the game as well as fighting.

Dozens of other lawsuits were filed by former players in the years that followed.
