Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Yes. In the WHL, they would keep me away from everything until I started to feel better. Then they'd slowly reintroduce me to different things. As far as when the concussion was sustained, a lot of the time it was just never in doubt that I was done for the game or for however lo

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I don't think the suspensions were enough. In one of them, as is the case with most of them, it was an attempt to either win the game or keep their season alive. At the end of the day, everyone just wants to win and keep playing.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Yes, I played baseball until I was 11 or 12, and then stopped to play summer hockey.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Yes.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I just play golf, really.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Sure. For me, it's the social aspect. As you said I was pretty quiet to begin with and hockey pulled me out of my shell every day and I enjoyed it a lot. Now I have to make new friends. That's just how it is.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  For me, I think, the rules maybe just need to be upheld a little bit more stiffly, and players need to be taught how to protect themselves at a younger age to be able to avoid some of those hits.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  There wasn't one when I was younger. I knew they existed, but that was about it. It wasn't until, I guess, midget that I saw guys getting them. When I made it to junior, there's baseline testing, but other than that.... You don't hear anything about it until it actually happens.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  My mom can go.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I'm not really sure. I guess I wouldn't want to get run all the time. The crease rule.... I think in the IIHF the whistle is blown any time someone on the opposing team enters the crease. I think that would have gone a long way in enabling me to play.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I guess it's just going after the goaltender unnecessarily. If the puck is gone, you don't need to make contact. I understand if the puck is in my equipment or there's a scramble in front of the net, some contact, but going out of your way to make that contact would be the best w

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I'm not sure.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Since word got out of my concussions, it was, a lot of the time, more than once a game.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  I don't think so, because at the end of the day, the players have to make their own choice. If they're going to plow through the goalie, they're going to do it.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Yes. I was at the end of my 18-year-old year when I got taken out. The following year we had a guy on our team who was acquired from Kindersley, and he said that their head coach had a list of players he was okay with them taking extra liberties on.
