Health & Safety
Medical Information Sheets:
Every player must have a completed Medical Information Sheet and the Team Trainer must have these accessible at every team function, including but not limited to games, practices and tournaments.
Rowan's Law:
Rowan Stringer, a high school Rugby player from Ottawa, Ontario, passed away in 2013 from Second Impact Syndrome due to multiple concussions suffered within a short period of time. A coroner’s in-quest into her death resulted in 49 recommendations to be implemented in an effort to prevent another tragedy such as this from happening in the future. Rowan’s Law, which passed unanimously at the On-tario Legislature on June 7, 2016, is designed to put these recommendations into action.
Sports organizations, including minor hockey, are required to implement the regulations. Every player (parent as well if individual is under 18), team official and on-ice official must review the HEO Concus-sion Code of Conduct and the appropriate Concussion Awareness Resources, in order to register/participate in CPMHA.
The Concussion Awareness Resources can be found at these links:
