Dr. Steven Stache, Jr., a sports medicine physician at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute who specializes in concussion management, also agrees that this new regulation is a good thing. "It is a step in the right direction to reduce concussions. Both education and decreasing the exposure rate are very important because collision will always be a part of sports and there is no evidence that wearing protective gear makes a difference."
