2.  Rowan's Law - Documents and Resources

Rowan’s Law was named for Rowan Stringer, a high school rugby player from Ottawa, who died in the spring of 2013 from a condition known as second impact syndrome (swelling of the brain caused by a subsequent injury that occurred before a previous injury healed). Rowan is believed to have experienced three concussions over six days while playing rugby. She had a concussion but didn’t know her brain needed time to heal. Neither did her parents, teachers or coaches.
Rowan’s Law and Rowan’s Law Day were established to honour her memory and bring awareness to concussions and concussion safety.

There are a number of links to documents and resources related to Rowan's Law. The E-Booklet is required to be reviewed by each player, coach, team staff member and parent each season, and the associated Acknowledgement Form must be signed.

"*There are slight differences on this Hockey Canada Concussion Card (2021), as compared to the QRMHA Concussion Policy: Removal from Sport & Return to Sport Policy (2024). For ex: medical assessment timing, and return to sport recommendations. For example, you no longer need to be completely symptom-free progressing through steps 1-3, and the timing of the medical assessment has changed to BEFORE team-ice is allowed, etc. QRMHA Concussion Policy: Removal from Sport & Return to Sport Policy (2024) will take precedence in any minor discrepancies in the short-time. Ie: until Hockey Canada updates their Concussion Card, at which point the new Hockey Canada Concussion Card will be posted here)."
