NEW REQUIREMENTS TO PLAY

Rowan’s Law (Concussion Safety), makes Ontario a national leader in concussion management and prevention by establishing mandatory requirements that call for:

• Annual review of concussion awareness resources that help prevent, identify, and manage concussions, which athletes, coaches, educators and parents are required to review before registering in a sport.
• Removal-from-sport and return-to-sport protocols, to ensure that an athlete is immediately removed from sport if they are suspected of having sustained a concussion and giving them the time required to heal properly.
• A concussion code of conduct that sets out rules of behaviour to minimize concussions while playing sport

On Sunday, November 25th the Minor Bantam Select team took part in the Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) Love Box Program at the Markham Irish Rugby Clubhouse. The MSH Love Box is a box that the players fill with gifts they have brought and then carefully decorate themselves. These MSH Love Boxes provide children who will be in the hospital over the holidays with a little something to bring a smile to their face. Well done Waxers Elves! Read More
