Aurora League (previously called Naisten Liiga) will be the 1st ice-hockey elite women's series tracking impacts and forces acting on a head in all teams and players starting in season 2024-25. (https://www.leijonat.fi/sarjat/auroraliiga)
We are truly humble and honoured that the trackers of choice are ACT Head Impact Trackers. (www.act-tracker.com) Very much looking forward the cooperation!
Helsinki University research team will be working closely with the Aurora League teams in concussion management and providing their help and expertise, whilst collecting data for a major academic study "Brains on Ice", part of even larger study on female elite sports, "SUCCESS". More information will follow.
World Rugby was 1st.
Aurora League 2nd.
Who will be next?
