One of the growing trends and issues in sports today is concussion protocol. Not only does this exist in hockey, but most other major sports. There's no doubt about it, leagues, teams, and yes, some players simply do not take concussions serious enough. Too often do we see players not properly attended to after taking a hit to the head. Whether it's a small hit, or a big hit, there should be a protocol for every direct hit an athlete takes to his or her head. This seems logical, doesn't it? As of late, the NHL has been fending off concussion lawsuits left and right.
