"When in doubt, sit them out"
USA Hockey Concussion Management
Players with a suspected or diagnosed concussion are not allowed to return to play with their USA Hockey team until cleared by a medical provider. The "Return to Play" form is the appropriate documentation to be given to the medical provider for documenting the safe return to participating fully with the hockey team.
Concussions are traumatic brain injuries and should be taken seriously in youth sports. Launch the USA Hockey Concussion Management document to learn about recognizing concussions, managing concussions, and when to return to play.
