The level and knowledge of the presenters at the ICS is out of this world. To see one of these presenters is exciting, let alone all at the same conference. If you’re involved with athletes you should definitely put it on your list, I’ll for sure be back. #icsniagara

So privileged to attend the 10th Annual International Concussion Summit, sponsored by One Last Goal, the foundation honoring UB Sports Law star student Matt Benedict. Ken Dryden and Chris Pronger were amazing speakers. Looking forward to UB's own Dr. John Leddy tomorrow!

Attending the International Concussion Summit is an enlightening experience, offering a wealth of knowledge on concussion prevention, treatment, and awareness. @niagaracatholic @Camillocipriano @icsniagara @chrispronger @KenDryden
An informative talk by Dr. John Leddy on how the examination and treatment of youth with concussion have changed over the past 15 years.
We also appreciated learning how return to school, to physical education class, and to sport in youth with concussion have changed as well.
An excellent start to day two of the International Concussion Summit!
Thank you to Dr. Ann McKee for an engaging talk that shared updates in CTE. It was interesting to learn how the brain pathology of CTE differs from other neurodegenerative diseases. #icsniagara
Thank you to Dr. Blain Hoshizaki for an informative presentation on how we can work together to protect youth in contact sport from head trauma and the risk of brain injury. #icsniagara

@JulieStammPhD with a great presentation about youth physical activity, AFE to RHI, and risk of long term effects of RHI. #ICSNiagara
An interesting presentation by Dr. Clara Karton on measuring brain trauma in sport and the application of AI.
In her talk, Dr. Karton described how using AI will provide tools to sports organizations, coaches, and medical teams to guide the management of head trauma.

An informative presentation by @JulieStammPhD on what we have learned about the developing brain and repetitive impacts in youth sports, and where we have to go. #icsniagara

"Every kid should have the opportunity to play sports and gain the many wonderful benefits that sports can offer without the risk of long-term consequences for the brain." #icsniagara
A great talk by keynote speaker, Dr. Robert Cantu entitled, "Reflections on Cantu Concussion Summit and Long-Term Effects of Repetitive Traumatic Brain Injury (RTBI)" #icsniagara
A big thank you to Chris Pronger for sharing his stories and personal experience with concussions.
