To me the most dangerous part of the game is the area near the boards. No other sport erects a wall around its participants and allow it to be used as a way of inflicting pain. How about changing the rules with what is allowed to happen within 6 feet of the boards?
Certainly it is your choice as a parent as to whether or not your child plays but more parents now are making the choice to remove their kids from certain sports because of concussion concerns
