Concussions a Problem in this Region

Brain Injury Services Northwestern Ontario is calling for better record keeping for concussion victims.
Spokesperson Alice Bellavance says right now there is no way to know how many people have suffered concussions in the area.
She says long term effects from concussions are becoming more and more known and keeping records will be vital moving forward.
Bellavance says its time health care agencies in the region took concussions seriously.
The story comes one day after NHL star Sidney Crosby addressed the media for the first time.
The news on Crosby is that there’s no news concerning his return from a concussion.
The Pittsburgh Penguins forward says he’s feeling better, but still doesn’t know when he will return to the NHL.
Crosby has been out of action since suffering a concussion in January.
