HoCo coaches need better concussion training. A concussed player was sent back in the game and things clearly got worse from there. When kids take significant blows to the head they should come out of the game for assessment and coaches should err on side of caution before subbing them back in. These games are meaningless fun but concussion impacts can be serious and last a lifetime. It shouldn't take a kid lying on the ground, puking, or not knowing where he is to diagnose a concussion. Hope coaches and the league will do better for the kids going forward.
What is your suggestion???
NP, my suggestion is for HoCo to do what someone else suggested earlier this week is suspend FCA for the playoffs in order to highlight the issue. coaches watch the videos I'm sure, but old school coaches don't think that "little timmy getting his bell rung" is a big deal. there is only one way to get coaches like that to understand.
