Hello, My son among many of his friends have already experienced at least one concussion from hockey.
He is 13 years old.
He is smart, athletic and has a bright future.
I am writing here because I know that with the latest research, many kids will downplay their injuries.
They already do, just to stay in the game.
The solution is so incredibly simple.. Take Checking Out of the Game. By far, checking is the biggest risk factor to hockey. And it breeds aggression.
Let’s use skill to raise the bar. Please, I am pleading.
Proud But Worried Hockey Mom, Tracey
