Ice hockey is a fast and dangerous game - so much that some of the best players have been sidelined after suffering head injuries during mid-game collisions or fights on the ice.

But new technology in helmets could detect concussions before accidents cause more serious damage.

Al Jazeera's Daniel Lak reports from Peterborough, Canada.

  • They've had this in American football for 5 or 6 years now. Good to see this technology spreading.

  • If fighting was part of the game, they'd fight at the Olympics. I don't recall seeing any fight in Vancouver. I recall enthusiatic winning celebrations, but no fighting. They just played and it was a hell of a lot more fun to watch

  • @BNPpatriot

    pootle off? You had the audacity to call someone else a faggot?

  • O I forgot American.

  • You have to be a pussy or fatass to hate hockey.

  • Not playing a dumb sport on ice with giant crooked sticks would be more effective in preventing injuries.

  • @BNPpatriot you can also grow up

  • @Redfingers grow up

  • Lol hockey is a shit sport

  • @BNPpatriot Who said Canadians hate the British? We do have the same queen you know... Also, hockey is a game of national identity as well, it's ingrained in Canadian culture, but you wouldn't understand because we have successful multiculturalism, and a fascist like you wouldn't understand.
