Mayo Clinic’s Sports Medicine Center hosts a collaborative “Ice Hockey Summit: Action on Concussion” in Rochester, Minnesota. The first Summit took place 19-20 October 2010 with the next scheduled for 8-9 October 2013. The Summit is jointly sponsored by the International Ice Hockey Federation, USA Hockey, the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation, The Hockey Equipment Certification Council and supported by the Brian Mark Family Foundation.
The summit brings together top scientists, trainers, coaches, officials and manufacturers from across the United States and Canada to discuss concussion-related issues. These issues include the science of concussions, their impact, return to play guidelines, equipment manufacturing, rules and regulations such as body checking and the challenges of officiating and enforcement.
At the conclusion of the summit, participants will develop an “Action Plan: Integrating Action Items into the Strategic Plan” and a strategy to share the plan with the hockey community.
While the summit focuses on hockey, concussion-related topics will apply to all sports.
