Texas Tigers Player Safety Policy

USA Hockey requires that players who exhibit any signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion, or are suspected of sustaining a concussion, be immediately removed from any training, practice or game.

Any athlete held out for concussion evaluation or who has been diagnosed with a concussion must provide a written USA Hockey Return to Play Form from a qualified medical provider allowing them to return to any training, practice, or game activity with no restrictions. 

The player's parent must sign the form, and the Head Coach must also sign the form acknowledging that they received it. The completed form must be returned to our Texas Tigers Player Safety Coordinator for approval before the player may return to team activities.

If a player has received a concussion through another sport, coaches should request a letter from their qualified medical provider clearing them for unrestricted activity.
