NPR: Concussion expert discusses checking, risk of brain injury

In an NPR "All things Considered" story that aired Sunday about the relationship of body checks to brain injuries, Barry Willer, UB professor of psychiatry and rehabilitation medicine, described as a "concussion prevention researcher," discusses with reporter Allison Aubrey the issue of the proper age and/or experience level when players can handle this move, which he says is integral to the sport. Ultimately, Willer says the move should be left to the professional players and not used at the recreational level.
