Hockey : Children Brain Injury and Head Injury Concussions in children
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Brain Injury / Head Injury, Ottawa Injury and Accidents, safety on December 10th, 2011
Ottawa personal injury lawyer, Ontario personal injury lawyer David Hollingsworth. I am currently at my son’s hockey tournament in Alliston , Ontario. These 8 year old kids are giving it their all and playing with heart. I love watching them play hockey. I thought it would be timely to remind everyone about hockey and concussions in children. I also wanted to remind everyone with a child is out there on the ice, please make sure they are wearing a proper CSA approved helmet, not just the helmet that is lying around in the garage. Most of all,play safe and have fun….
Hockey is one of Canada’s most popular sports, with over 520,000 players registered in the Canadian Hockey Association (CHA) for the 2000-2001 season. The incidence of hockey-related injuries amongst children between the ages of 9 to 14 leading to emergency department visits more than doubled between since 1990.The injury incidence among teens aged 15 to 18 didn’t increase as much as that of younger children, but still grew 85 % during the same time period.
42% – head and face
Who gets injured?
Defense 33% Forwards 63% Goalie 4%.
The Children’s hospital of Eastern Ontario’s website is an excellent resource for signs and symptoms of concussions. The following inforamation is from this site: Concussions can cause a variety of symptoms, which can appear several hours after the incident. Signs and symptoms of a concussion include:
- Confusion (your child might not know where he is or the period of the game)
- Memory problems (forgetting what happened before or after the injury)
- Loss of consciousness (being “knocked out”)
- Headache
- Dizziness/feeling dazed
- Tiredness
- Nausea/vomiting
- Vision problems/staring blankly/seeing stars
- Slurred speech
- Unusual emotions, personality change, inappropriate behaviour
There are different kinds of concussions and some may be more serious than others.
Simple concussions
- Symptoms last less than 15 minutes after the injury.
- Child/teen should not return to playing hockey or other sports for at least one week.
Complex concussions
Symptoms last longer than 15 minutes after the injury.
- Symptoms return with exercise.
- The child/teen has been knocked out.
- Longer recovery time. Several weeks or even months before returning to playing hockey or other sports.
Again, enjoy hockey ! It is a wonderful sport. Please be safe out there and parents be on the look out if your child does fall or you suspect they have hit their head.

Ottawa Car Accident , Fire Truck Accident , Kirkwood and Laperriere
Posted by Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyer, Ottawa Accident Lawyer, David Hollingsworth in Ottawa Car Accidents, Ottawa Injury and Accidents on January 19th, 2011
Ottawa Car Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth..Ottawa Police are investigating after an Ottawa accident that involved a fire truck and a car in the Carlington area today. The Ottawa accident happened about 4:30 p.m. at Kirkwood and Laperriere avenues. The driver of the fire truck was sent to an Ottawa hospital with minor head injuries and a sore back and has since been released. The other 3 members of the crew in the truck were uninjured.
Regrettably, the 66-year-old male driver of the car was also sent to an Ottawa hospital with unknown injuries. He was the only person in the vehicle. The firefighters in the truck looked after both drivers until paramedics arrived on scene. The fire truck was not responding to a call at the time. I hope this man’s personal injuries are not severe and he has a full, speedy and healthy recovery from this accident. Personal injuries suffered from a car accident can have life-long and life altering effects. I hope this is not the case here….
