Concussion Management & Return to Play Form

Concussion management steps

Remove immediately from play (training, practice, or game)
Inform the player’s coach/parents or guardians
Refer the athlete to a qualified health-care professional (as defined in state statute)
Initial treatment requires a short period of rest, but the athlete may participate in light exercise (if their symptoms are not made worse)
Begin a graded return-to-sport and return-to-learn
Provide written medical clearance for return to play (the USA Hockey Return to Play Form is required)
