🧠 March is Brain Injury Awareness Month.

Every year, millions of people suffer traumatic brain injuries — and most people don’t realize that 75% of these injuries are concussions.

Brain injuries can happen anywhere:

🏈 On the playing field
🚗 In car accidents
🏠 From falls at home
🎖 During military service
🚴 In everyday activities

What makes brain injuries especially difficult is that they are often invisible. Someone may look perfectly fine on the outside while their brain is still healing.

That’s why awareness matters.

Understanding the signs of concussion, supporting research, and improving how we diagnose and treat brain injuries can make a huge difference for patients and families.

Brain health affects how we think, feel, remember, and live our lives.

This month, take a moment to learn about brain injury, share information, and support the people who are working to improve care for those affected.

🏒The NHL and other professional hockey leagues have made strides in prioritizing head health.

In hockey, there are helmets, but it’s common for them to be knocked off during hard hits or fighting— the physicality of the sport is something both that players and fans have a strong passion for.

🧠Daniel Carcillo is a retired NHL player. Over the course of his career, which ended at 30 years old, he participated in 164 fights and was diagnosed with seven concussions.

“It was really difficult for my brain to kind of come back and regenerate. And it really never did. And so, I never played again,” Carcillo says.

🗣️Today, Carcillo is a public speaker and advocate on behalf of traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors and other mental health awareness.

He founded the wellness community of Experience Onward, which offers natural medicine experiences and psilocybin therapy. “It's a pretty cool thing to kind of get to a point in your life where you're grateful for all of your suffering and to be able to hopefully help another concussion survivor, because it's a long and lonely road.”

⭐️It’s time to protect players by spreading awareness about TBI and it’s long-term effects. Let’s continue to support concussion awareness and advocate for stronger safety standards.

Across the world of professional sports — with hockey being no exception — player health has become one of the most important topics of conversations surroundin
