Concussions in hockey pose a serious health risk to both professional and amateur players alike. Head injuries may be somewhat inevitable as hockey is a tough physical sport and body contact is a part of the game. In the past not a lot of attention was paid to head injuries with players and coaches simply dismissing the injury as "having their bell rung". This in fact could very well have been what is now known as a Grade one concussion. Symptoms usually last no more than 15 or 20 minutes and are characterized by the player being a bit dazed or confused. Improvement is quite fast and there are usually no lasting effects.
Grade two or three concussions however, are much more serious and players should seek medical attention as soon as possible. In these types of concussions the player may lose consciousness and often has no memory of the incident which caused the injury. Other symptoms may include disorientation, headaches, vomiting, vision and hearing impairment and loss of coordination.

It is important that steps be taken to reduce the number and severity of this type of injury. It is the responsibility of anybody involved in hockey in any way to help with this awareness as head injuries can and do end careers and may even be severe enough to cause death.
Parents and fans, league officials, equipment manufactures, coaches and referees are all culpable to a degree. Players must learn to respect each other and play within the rules of the game. Any deviation from these rules, such as deliberate attacks to the head, should be dealt with severely. At the professional level nothing less than a 20 game suspension should be the norm with more severe penalties for the repeat offender. Minor hockey organizations should consider raising the age limit for body contact as children are more susceptible to permanent damage from concussions in hockey.
The proper equipment must always be worn and used correctly. How often have you seen players sporting helmets with a loose chin strap or chewing on their mouth guards during play? I believe that the rules of hockey include penalties for the improper use of equipment. These rules should be strictly enforced, especially when it comes to head protection. I can remember a time when coaches would call for a measurement of the curve in the blade of an opposing players stick at a crucial point in the game, often resulting in a penalty. Maybe the coaches can now employ these same tactics as the rules apply to helmets.
It is unfortunately next to impossible to completely prevent head injuries but certainly the incidents and severity of these injuries can be limited. As fans we should be concerned as these injuries often cut short the careers of our favourite stars. By the use of common sense, player's respect for the rules and each other and proper use of equipment we can diminish the consequences of concussions in hockey.
