Wednesday, 11 January 2012 17:00
Here's a neat little video helping to educate kids and parents on what a concussion is, how to recognize the symtoms, and where to go from there...
Dr. Mike Evans is founder of the Health Design Lab at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, an Associate Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of Toronto, a staff physician at St. Michael's Hospital, and a health columnist for the Globe & Mail and the CBC.

Missing from photo: Mr. Gilles Boucher - Perfecto Café and Scott MacMillan - Midland Transport. Thanks to all involved.
Make sure your hockey helmet fits and is fastened properly.
Be aware - play heads-up hockey.
Wear a properly fitted mouth guard.
Always use correct bodychecking techniques and never hit another player from behind or in the head.
ALERT - Repeat concussions can severely affect one's lifestyle. It is a Hockey Canada Policy not to send a player back on the ice unless that player has fully recovered
The most common cause of serious spinal injuries in hockey is when a player is checked, pushed or bumped from behind, and goes head first into the boards. Such injuries have left some victims paralysed for life. As a coach or parent, it is your responsibility to ensure that your players develop the proper attitudes and skills to protect themselves and opponents from dangerous hits from behind. Education must begin at the start of the season.
Coaches and Parents at all levels, contact and non-contact, must help players develop respect for opponents and rules.
Players must be aware of the consequences of checking, shoving, or bumping an opponent who is in the “danger zone”, the 3-4 metres of ice in front of the boards.
Teach your players to treat opponents as they like to be treated themselves!
Coaches in categories with contact should recognize that checking is an advanced skill which must be taught using proper teaching progressions, and only once the players have mastered all skating skills.
Safety must be the first priority when teaching checking skills.
Here are more suggestions:
Ensure your players stretch properly before all games and practices.
Make sure your players include exercises to strengthen neck muscles in off-ice training programs.
Teach your players the proper technique for receiving checks, and to always be alert when in the “danger zone”.
Encourage referees to enforce all rules that penalize checking from behind.
Athletes are frequently required to travel away from home to tournaments and training camps. Both the journey and living in a new environment can make it challenging to maintain a high performance diet essential for optimal sport performances. The nutrition pitfalls of travel can be easily avoided through anticipating the upcoming scenarios and making a few plans.
Experienced athletes stay on track by:
Planning, preparing, and carrying with them portable foods and fluids
Choosing the best of the foods on offer during air and road travel
Making optimal restaurant meal choices
Planning and preparing simple meals at their destination accommodation
For kids, hockey is more than just a game. From the first time they lace up their skates, hockey helps teach the importance of a positive attitude, teamwork, dedication and most of all - how to have fun. To help ensure they remain safe on the ice, we're applying our own experience with safety and innovation to our Safe & Fun hockey program to help keep Canadians safe on the road and the ice.
If your child is 5 years old and registered in a Canadian minor hockey association, he or she is eligible to receive a free Bauer 2100 youth helmet from Chevrolet.
Sign up today to give your child a head start on safety...
In Hockey Canada's effort to curb headshots in all levels of hockey; starting this season, strict new rules will be in effect.
Take some time to read them and talk to your young hockey players about it. It is through this that we all hope to bring back some respect to our game and help make it more fun and safe for everyone.
Rule 6.5 Head Contact
(a) In Minor and Female, a Minor Penalty shall be assessed to any player who accidentally contacts an opponent in the head, face or neck with his stick or any part of the player’s body or equipment.
(b) In Minor and Female, a Double Minor Penalty or a Major and a Game Misconduct Penalty, at the discretion of the Referee and based on the degree of violence of impact shall be assessed to any player who intentionally contacts an opponent in the head, face or neck with her stick or any part of the player’s body or equipment.

Parents have a responsibility to ensure that players are wearing equipment that fits properly, protects the area that it is intended to protect and is well maintained. Hockey Canada recommends that parents and players use care when selecting protective equipment.
RMHC values and respects it's officials. In Canada we lose 10,000 officials every year, mostly because they can't tolerate the abuse. (Source:Hockey Canada Referee's Case Book/Rule Combination, 2005-06) RMHC has addressed this by making it mandatory that players and coaches sign a "Code of Conduct"; an agreement outlining expected behavior and consequences for breaches of conduct.
Spectators are also expected to conduct themselves properly. RMHC will not tolerate spectators' verbal abuse of game officials, opposition players or bench personnel. Should such abuse occur, and the abuser(s) is identified, that person (people) may receive a warning or be told to leave the arena. Any official, on or off-ice, regardless of age or experience may expel a spectator. When this occurs, the game will be stopped until such person(people) leave the spectator area. Should the spectator refuse to leave, the police may be called, and the game may be suspended with the team associated with the spectator(s) possibly being required to forfeit the game.
RMHC's motto is "Skills First", and this applies to development of both players and officials. Our referees vary in age from 11 to 64 and participate as officials for the "Love of the Game". Their goal is to facilitate a fair, safe and competitive game. We thank you all for your support.
