Recent studies have shown that…

Girls’ hockey players are 2 times more likely to suffer a concussion than male hockey players and almost 3 times more likely than football players.

Scary stuff for a game that doesn’t allow

full body checking isn’t it?

Anyone who has ever watched a girls hockey game knows that no body-checking doesn’t mean no body contact. The female game is very physical and yet we are not preparing our girls adequately to be able to handle the high level of contact.

The high incidence of head injuries in girls hockey is alarming.

What are we going to do about it?

Concussion Prevention is all about:
Preparation and Protection

It is our responsibility as coaches and parents to ensure that our girls are prepared and protected each and every time they step out on the ice.

We aren’t going to stop the concussion epidemic by just getting girls to wear mouthguards, teaching them how to play “heads up” hockey or teaching them how to be stronger and more stable on their skates.

We need to address it ALL.

Coaches, parents and players need to know:

=> How to teach their players how to take a hit and protect themselves
=> How to prepare players for the physicality of the female game through proper off-ice training
