Default no checking hockey safe?

Hi all,

I was on the receiving end of a few mild concussions early this January in boxing sparring. No loss of consciousness, blurry vision, nausea or anything like that, just slow processing of information for the period after the injury. It eventually developed into post concussion syndrome and I was pretty sensitive to vibrations for a little while.
I have quit boxing sparring completely and have gradually been able to get back into safe activities like biking and swimming. Working my way up in terms of running now. Also able to get back into piano playing albeit I would get slight sound sensitivity if I play in the morning. My head is always a little more sensitive in the mornings.
I have been working very intensively on a math PhD and have only experienced the occasional headache from that.
I definitely still have quite a bit more to go, but just curious if anyone has been able to get back/into non-contact recreational hockey after PCS?

Thanks,
John
