Here's a summary of the case in four sentences for a lawyer:
This case concerns the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board's (WCAB) jurisdiction over a professional hockey player's cumulative injury claim. The WCAB affirmed jurisdiction, finding that the applicant's 59 games played in California created a sufficient connection for due process, despite most of his career being elsewhere. The Board distinguished this case from precedent where a single game was deemed insufficient contact. The petition for reconsideration was denied, as California has a legitimate interest in adjudicating injuries sustained within its borders.
