Hi All,

We need to do all we can to prevent head injuries and if they occur manage it properly. Here is an excellent video specific to Ice Hockey which covers the issues.

I encourage you to watch it yourself and ask you to encourage all managers, coaches, players and parents in your regions to watch it also.

There seems to be a big drive in Canada & the USA to raise awareness on concussions in hockey.

Another useful video is http://www.stopconcussions.com/

Please do what you can to educate our members in this critical issue

Kind regards

Grant Hay
