Hockey

This I found from on the internet
Always protect your brain! Wear your hockey helmet whether playing on the ice, floor or road. Remember…"Don't Use Your Brains for Brakes!!" Clever phrase I have a better one, ice is slippery don't go on it with shoes that have sharp little pieces of metal on the bottom.
Hockey Facts:
Playing recreational hockey on the ice, in the gym, or on the street is a great way to develop physical and social skills while building self-confidence. I find that having several concussions always improves your social skills. With all the benefits of hockey, people often forget about the risks of injury from falls onto the hard floor, street or ice. People forget the risks because of all the brain injuries from falling on the ice.
Statistics from the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (2001) identified 522 emergency room visits from injuries sustained while playing ice or ball hockey. Males suffered ninety-one percent of the injuries. Players between the ages 10-14 were at highest risk for injury (58 per cent), followed by teens between the ages of 15-19 (30 per cent). The most common injuries were fractures of the forearm, clavicle, and lower leg, followed by head injuries. Stephen Harper we believe didn't use a helmet because he thought it was gay to protect his brain.
By planning it safe, everyone can enjoy the benefits of playing hockey all year round, and reduce the risk of injuries.
