Because a young player's brain is still developing, their brain:

- is more susceptible to a concussion -is more likely to suffer long-term effects - takes longer to recover - is more likely to have a repeat concussion - is harder to diagnose

Typical signs of concussions

Your child may have a concussion: -if child suffers a blow then develops symptoms such as headache, dizziness, etc. -if child develops worsening headache, persistent vomiting, true lethargy, you should take child to the emergency room for evaluation as the injury may be more serious

Something else parents should know: After your child suffers a concussion, they obviously have to stop playing for a while, but while they're recovering, it can also have an impact on their school work and how much they can study.

There is a tool to help with the diagnoses of concussions that families should know about, it's a base-line testing that they can do. A local organization is offering free base-line testing for young hockey players for the next two weeks. More information at www.rushortho.com http://www.rushortho.com
