Mikeyy, why on earth would you want to risk another bang on the head??? Obviously you are younger than I am which in a way gives you more to lose. One of my first head injuries was being knocked out playing ordinary hockey when I was 16 - some idiot lifted their stick to high and I got it smack onto the side of my forehead.

Then hitting my head on the bottom of a swimming pool, then a bad car accident at 21. Believe me the risk from ice hockey now for you is not worth it. In a way I was lucky and was 45 before significant PCS caught upn with me, I am now 53 and not recovered fully. Any little bump or jarrinng of my body can cause concussion to those who are sensitive to concussion.

THE RISK AND SHORT ENJOYMENT OF THE GAME IS NOT WORTH IT.

Every further concussion brings you that much closer to the time when you may not recover as it is cumulative.

I'm sorry I just get angry and upset when I hear of anybody taking a risk to end up as I am now.
