This is hard for me to talk about. I have been playing hockey for over 15 years now and I have had many concussions over the years; at different levels, youth, juniors, the pros. Sometimes when I make up in the morning, I feel like I was ran over by a truck and I sometimes don’t know where I am at or the time of day. Every time I am about to get ice on the ice, I have a split-second instinct of trying to get out of the way and not worry about where the puck is. But I am a team player and I will sacrifice my body for the better of the team. I have hidden concussions from team staff and even fellow teammates. The headaches start and never stop. But as of being drafted in to the SHL and meeting the New Orleans training staff. They helped developed a strategy to fight my reoccurring concussions and the headaches that they brought along. If it wasn’t for the training staff, I am not sure if I would still be playing hockey.
