What if an athlete has a suspected concussion?
Please refer to the Concussion Policy Flow Chart (2021-2022) on how to recognize a concussion and the steps that need to be taken as soon as possible in order to rule out anything more severe.
If concussion is suspected, the player must be assessed by a medical doctor or nurse practitioner at an ER, walk-in clinic, or family physician. If diagnosed with a concussion at that first medical appointment, please ensure player follows the six-step concussion return-to-sport protocol.
