EDSHC Concussion & Safe Hockey policies

Concussion

It is a priority for us to continue our improvement as a community with how we understand and look after concussions. Hockey Australia’s Concussion Management Framework has been updated and is in place to ensure the well-being of our players. I urge you all to familiarise yourselves with this framework and prioritise the health of yourselves and your teammates.

Safe Hockey

Additionally, our commitment to a Safe Hockey environment is paramount. Please take a moment to review Hockey Australia’s RESPECT the Officials campaign, SAFE Hockey Framework and our Code of Conduct, these guidelines are designed to foster a positive and respectful atmosphere for all participants, officials, and spectators.
