[quote=Anonymous]My kid has played hockey for 12 seasons. He has had a couple of close calls, but fortunately has never had a concussion as far as I know, but he knows a decent number of kids who have suffered from concussions. So its a real problem, but in my experience the coaches are good about pulling kids from games/practices when there is a suspected/possible concussion, and making sure they are OK before letting them back on the ice. I doubt that HS level football is much worse in terms of concussion risk. As you move into college, the fact that virtually every play in a football game includes heavy collisions raises long-term risks - in my view - but garden variety HS football just doesn't have the same level of size/strength/violence as college football (with the possible exception of very high level HS teams, of which we have a few in this area).[/quote]
