USA Hockey: Concussion Resources

Concussion are serious...there is no such thing as a minor brain injury. If you suspect that a player has a concussion, you should remove them from play, ensure they are evaluated by an appropriate healthcare professional (no personal judgement calls), inform/educate the player's parents or guardians, and allow the player to return to play only with permission from an appropriate healthcare professional. Check out the links below for concussion management protocols and other resources provided by USA Hockey.
