NZIHF Concussion Policy
This page will provide basic information about concussion, and how suspected concussion should be managed in the context of ice hockey.
The NZIHF considers player safety as one of its core priorities. We expect that all players suspected of having a concussion will follow the below guidance, incorporate proper medical care as indicated, and if concussion is diagnosed by a doctor, that the affected player will obtain written medical clearance before returning back to contact training or play.
