This is what that was in response to:



My issue was with people talking about concussions like they aren't a big deal, and you respond with "then don't play contact sports"? Doesn't sound to me like you're someone who takes concussions seriously.

Sorry I guess I missed your point a bit then. I thought you were more commenting on the presence of concussions vs the attitude towards them. I hate seeing my kids (players) hurt. And I really think we at the Bantam level are going to see a lot more injuries as a result of this. Where 200 lb kids are taking inexperienced, uncontrolled runs at kids who are barely 5 ft 100lbs. I think its a short sighted change to appease a few people making a big fuss about a sport they don't truely understand.

We see more injuries from being hit with pucks than concussions. Are they going to ban slap shots too?
