CONCUSSIONS



Is working with Arizona High School Hockey to make sure our High School Hockey players safely return to the ice after suffering a concussion.  

Ice hockey is a finesse sport that requires a unique combination of speed, power, and teamwork. As a result, players are at risk for injury —some of them avoidable.

Please take a moment to view the video below regarding Concuusion Awareness, Prevention and Treatment

The Bell Unrung: Concussion Awareness, Prevention and Treatment

Concussion Treatment and Management will include:

  • Pre-injury baseline testing to assess balance, memory, concentration and vision prior to injury
  • Computerized testing
  • Post-injury baseline testing to assess balance, memory, concentration and vision

Visit the Banner Concussion Website for additional Information regarding their services.
