Luc Bourdon, a 21-year-old player for the Vancouver Canucks, was tragically killed May 29 in a motorcycle accident in his home province New Brunswick. Bourdon earned his licence a mere two weeks ago, and was begged by his mother not to buy a motor bike.

This is not the first time that a professional athlete has gotten into a serious injury/lost his/her life in motor vehicle accidents. Ben Roethlisberger, the starting quarterback for the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers, crashed his Harley a couple years ago and suffered from a very serious injury as well.

To protect their assets, certain teams put into their contracts restrictions for their players to participate in certain "dangerous" activities. No professional leagues, however, have a league-wide stipulation.

In light of Bourdon's untimely death, do you think any of the "big four" professional sports league in North America will develop league-wide stipulation to prevent players from participating in such activities?
