Hockey Canada recognizes that concussion awareness is fundamental to concussion prevention, recognition and management.
The incidence of concussions can be mitigated by the proper implementation of prevention strategies. Hockey Canada encourages the use of sound education programs and enforcement of the Playing Rules as tools to prevent concussions.
All players, parents/guardians, coaches, trainers, Safety Personnel, team staff and officials are required to review their respective Pre-Season Concussion Education Sheet prior to participating in their first game of the season. In addition, the full Concussion Policy and Protocol are also available for viewing.
