Print Rowans Law Acknowledgement - 2022/23 Season
  1. I will help prevent concussions by my commitment to:

    • Wearing the proper equipment for my sport and wearing it correctly;
    • Respecting the rules of my sport or activity; and
    • My commitment to fair play and respect for all* (respecting other athletes, coaches, team trainers and officials).

    I will care for my and others health and safety by taking concussions seriously, and I understand that:

    • A concussion is a brain injury that can have both short- and long-term effects;
    • A blow to the head, face or neck, or a blow to the body that causes the brain to move around inside the skull may cause a concussion; and
    • A person doesn’t need to lose consciousness to have had a concussion

    I will commit to:

    • report any possible concussion received during participation in the OHF to a designated person;
    • recognizing a concussion or possible concussion and the reporting to a designated person when an individual suspects that another individual may have sustained a concussion;
    • sharing any pertinent information regarding incidents of a removal from sport with the Player’s school and other sport organization with which the player has registered; • sharing any pertinent information regarding incidents of a concussion that have occurred outside of participation in the OHF to a designated person with your/individual’s Team;
    • Complete Injury Report Forms in a timely manner and ensure they are submitted to the Member;
    • Give commitment to providing opportunities before and after each training, practice and competition to enable participants to discuss potential issues related to concussions; and
    • Maintain an open dialogue with all athletes and participants (and parents/guardians in cases of minors) about their health and any signs and symptoms of concussion they may experience

    I will commit to respect the OHF Removal and Return to Play Protocol by:

    • Understanding that if I have a suspected concussion, I will be removed from sport and that I will not be able to return to training, practice or competition until I undergo a medical assessment by a medical doctor or nurse practitioner and have been medically cleared to return to training, practice or competition;
    • Understanding I will have to be medically cleared by a medical doctor or nurse practitioner before returning to training, practice or competition;
    • Respect the roles and responsibilities of all coaches and health care professionals in Return to Play protocol; and
    • Respond appropriately with Return to Play protocols if a participant is experiencing concussion related symptoms or if you suspect any participant has sustained a concussion.

  1. The Ontario Government has enacted Rowan’s Law (Concussion Safety), 2018, S.O. 2018, c. 1 (“Act”). Ontario Regulation 161/19, the Act requires all sport organizations as defined in the Regulation (“Sports Organization”), which includes the Ontario Hockey Federation (“OHF”), to have a Concussion Code of Conduct. This Concussion Code of Conduct must require participants, as set out in the Act, to review the Ontario Government’sissued Concussion Awareness Resources on an annual basis. A participant is subject to a Concussion Code of Conduct for each Sports Organization a participant registers with.

    Applicable age appropriate Concussion Awareness Resources are located at www.ontario.ca/concussions. The OHF Concussion Code of Conduct and the appropriate Concussion Awareness Resources must be reviewed before you can register/participate in the OHF.
