[quote=Anonymous]Wow, 2 concussions in 1 year.  My understanding is that it is multiple concussions or concussions while recovering from a concussion that is really dangerous.  Two concussions would be a real warning sign for me.

My DS plays hockey and I have been thinking about how to handle this situation.  I am wondering what I would do with 1 concussion, but I suppose I would have to see how severe or mild it is.  We have a kid on the team that got a concussion outside of our sport, he sat, and now seems fine.

This all said, it would be a real blow to my son to stop.  A lot of his identity is wrapped up in his sport.  It's hard to just turn that off overnight.  I have been keeping him in music and one other sport (at a lower level) as a fallback.  I also talk about cross country a lot.  Still, he would be devastated if I pulled the plug.  All of that training and skill development spent on this sport. This is not an easy situation, so I understand the OP wanted all the information available.  In the end, though, you might have to make the tough call.
