One in 10 minor hockey players suffer concussions

A new survey suggests one in 10 minor hockey players suffer concussions - and based on what I've seen, I'd say the findings are bang on.
It's time to be wise about concussions. Coaches, parents and players need a new level of awareness, a new level of respect.
What happens if minor hockey doesn't improve its attitude towards concussions and hits to the head? Would government step in to order a ban on body checking as a way to safeguard the health of kids?
Could happen.
Here is the latest minor hockey concussion story as posted by the Vancouver Sun.
