Sid the Kid: Should he play again?

Sidney Crosby has begun practicing again in hopes to return from a recurrence of conscious like symptoms. With so much known about concussions and their effects on long time life effects known.  I honestly don’t know if it is in Crosby best interest to return.  Of course, I’m not a doctor, but I just seems that Crosby must have a serious medical problem that has kept him out for the better part of two years. After reading this article about Hunter Hillenmeyer http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/28/hunter-hillenmeyer-battling-nfl-bears-for-900000/- I hope the NHL does have a policy like this if Crosby can’t go again.  I really hope that Crosby can back completely healthy, but I hope it is not at the expense of the his long term health.  Just like Brandon Roy I hate to see a career cut short, especially in the prime of one’s career.  But this is the tricky intersection where the thing you love the most-playing the game- becomes just that a game not worth your life.
