Concussion Summit
|
On October 19-20, 2010, Mayo Clinic’s Sports Medicine Center will host a collaborative “Ice Hockey Summit: Action on Concussion” in Rochester, Minnesota. The Summit is jointly sponsored by the International Ice Hockey Federation, USA Hockey, the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation, The Hockey Equipment Certification Council and supported by Team Wendy and the Johannson-Gund endowment.
The summit will bring together top scientists, trainers, coaches, officials and manufacturers from across the United States and Canada to discuss concussion-related issues. These issues include the science of concussions, their impact, return to play guidelines, equipment manufacturing, rules and regulations such as body checking and the challenges of officiating and enforcement.
At the conclusion of the summit, participants will develop an “Action Plan: Integrating Action Items into the Strategic Plan” and a strategy to share the plan with the hockey community.
While the summit will focus on hockey, concussion-related topics will apply to all sports. Click here for more information.
