The NHL implemented a new policy for “in game” concussion testing. During a game, a player that is suspected of having a concussion will be removed from the game and sent to a quiet place free from distraction so the on-site team physician can examine them.

In the past, players were simply assessed on the bench by the team’s trainer. If it is determined that the hockey player has indeed suffered a concussion, the player is immediately sent for observation and testing at a hospital or private clinic. Rest is recommended and athletes are not allowed to return to game play until they are symptom free. There are however, certain steps to be followed upon a player return to practice and game play.

I started my love of sports when I was very young. At three years old, I played flag football for a local youth league. I was not shy and withdrawn like the other kids. I was outgoing and energetic. I don’t know if the other kids were embarrassed to play or they just didn’t understand the game, but the ball always came to me. I loved the attention from stealing a flag and scoring a touchdown. After flag football, I played every sport in every season—soccer, basketball, football, volleyball, and baseball. Every sport was the same—the ball always came to me. I was not necessarily an aggressive player, but I was athletic and demanded a lot of play time because I knew I could get

The issue at hand was difficulty covering the rehab clinic with staff; the majority of the staff seemed to prefer leaving the clinics earlier than the scheduled end time. Most of this was due to previous agreements between management and individual staff members. However, as the request and changes began to accumulate the management team has been running into trouble contacting the rehab team for questions.

The person I interviewed was injured at a soccer game during club soccer. The team had been practicing for a few weeks together but had never played a game together. It was the team’s first game together and the coach was trying every play in a different position. The injury took place at the end of the first half. The athlete was injured when he and another play struck the ball at the same time. The athlete felt extreme pain in his ankle and couldn’t bare weight or move his foot.
