Ive had 6 concussions and a fractured skull, i was told that i probably shouldnt be playing contact hockey anymore. im pretty small, and i took a rest from contact for a year from contact a couple fo eyars ago. Im back playing it now, but i dont regret the break. The last thing you wanna do is take a risk with your head, ive done it before, and its not worth it

I've had three, one last year in lacrosse, I got hit and my neck went back too far, luckily it didn't turn out badly. I had a neck brace for a day or 2 but that was the worst part, it was only 1st degree. Two I have had this year, I went to the half wall to pick up a reverse, got hit from behind, got onto my knees, shook my head and my vision came back, then I went back up ice (not a good call) and proceeded to get a slashing penalty..lol. Couldn't play the rest of the game though, when my trainer looked at me he was like, yea noo. Then another one was in Lethbridge a few weeks ago and I got cross checked in the back of the head, but it was only 1st degree.

None of them were really bad though, knock on wood.

usually i do skate with my head up ,but this was a little 3 on 3 tournement at school hockey program so i was just dipsy doodling and fooling around and i hauled arse down the middle driving down the net thinking id just get stickchecked and my own teammate dropped his shoulder and only like 2 weeks before i had a small concussion and thisa lil practise was just to see how i fealt and to see if i could start playing on my team

how do you get a concussion in atom? did you run into the boards or goal post?

i think i've suffered a couple concussions in my day, but never had anything checked out or stopped playing. i know thats kinda retarded, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it

i didn't think there was contact down in atom. i thought it begins in peewee, bantam when i was playing

There's contact in every level, legal checking doesn't start until peewee though.

I think it's Atom in Canada, it was a year or so before the age change, but I haven't seen to many Atom games lately.

I got one thanks to getting hit from behind, we were in a tourney in Philly...boy was I ever messed up when we got on the plane after the game. The other one was when I got blindsided trying to deke someone. I beat the kids ass when we played them again.
