    Seems like there should be some sort of first responders, like St Johns Ambulance, at ALL BCHL games or they are not played!
    There is now a DEPARTMENT OF PLAYER SAFETY so, how is this not part of their protocol. While they are at it ALL player safety equipment MUST be worn as intended or they don’t play ie: mouth guards not in mouth, chin straps so loose that a hard hit knocks helmet off.
