OWHA Concussion Awareness
The Ontario Government has adopted the Statute “Rowan’s Law” that includes mandatory requirements for all sport, including the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA).
The OWHA Concussion Awareness Resource must be read on an annual basis before an individual registers with the OWHA or with an OWHA member. The OWHA registration form requires a signature from every member/participant as well as parent/guardian for players under the age of 18.
During the first week or 2 of your season your manager will be giving you the Acknowledgement Form to sign. This form must be kept on file for OWHA. All participants will need this form signed in order for your daughter to continue to play with Lambton Attack.
The OWHA’s Concussion Awareness Resource is available through the link below

and includes Code of Conduct, Removal from Play, Return to Play, age-appropriate material and links to valuable additional resources.
