Heads Up, Don't Duck!
A program to decrease the risk for spinal cord injuries

COACHES ...

  • Teach proper ways to give a body check and to take a check.
  • Do NOT allow players to check from behind.
  • Encourage fair play – The purpose of body checking is to separate the player from the puck, NOT to separate the player from consciousness!
  • Emphasize neck strengthening and flexibility exercises.
