John,

Congrats! A word of caution though. I sustained my first concussion from sparring in boxing...no loss of consciousness...just felt crummy for a few days, then the PCS kicked in and lasted about 8 months.

I returned to non-contact hockey after this, and I had a bump on the head from someone's shoulder (unintentional) and caused a second concussion. Just be careful, and maybe weigh out the pros and cons of playing again. Not saying to never play again, but maybe give yourself more time to recover than you think.

All the best!
