Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Concussion Management of New York, New York, USA Corresponding author: Ryan Adams, [email protected] Abstract Introduction In the past few years, there has been a rising interest in both the prevalence and the short- and long-term consequences of concussions. While the main focus of concussion-based research revolves around the National Football League (NFL), attention is now shifting to other high contact leagues like the National Hockey League (NHL), where there is constant player-to-player contact as well as collisions with the perimeter boards. While the body of evidence surrounding injury and concussion rates in the NHL has substantially grown in size over the previous few years, there is still a void pertaining to the in-game effects that could modulate concussion incidence. Our study takes a novel approach to evaluate several “style of play” factors such as home/away perspective, win/loss outcome, points scored, real time length of game, time of season, and player position in modulating concussion rates. Methods Data on concussion incidence for the 2013-2017 National Hockey League seasons was collected utilizing FOX Sports injury tracker.

Root, root, root for the home team! All materials from Hofstra University Archives and Long Island Studies, Hofstra Pride: Athletics at Hofstra University Women’s basketball team, 1936, note the name on the bus: Hofstra College was associated with NYU until 1939. Women’s championship basketball team, 1939-40. Helena Mroczkowska Dow, was not only an Olympic fencing champion, but she flew planes! A member of the class of 1940 she was involved in student government, but it was her fencing prowess that brought her to national attention. She was a member of a remarkable Olympic family; her husband fenced in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin and was captain of the 1948 US Olympic fencing team. Helena fenced in the 1948 Olympics in London and her son, Robert, fenced sabre in the 1972 Olympics in Munich. It is believed that they are the only “Mother-Father-Son” trio in any sport in US Olympic history. The wrestling squad of 1945-46 went undefeated although they didn’t organize as a team until two years later. In the 1950’s Hofstra played baseball games at Ebbets Field against St. John’s. The Dodgers left town after the 1957 season and the demolition of the stadium began in February of 1960. This photo from 1951. The first time cheerleaders organized at Hofstra was in 1947, this squad from 1952 wears traditional saddle shoes and Hofstra sweaters.
