Hamlin injury gives CFL chance to review protocols
It’s a story that’s now trending in a positive direction, but Damar Hamlin’s horrific injury is providing the CFL, its executives and its head coaches with a talking point at the league’s winter meetings.
On Monday, Hamlin was released from the intensive care unit at the Cincinnati hospital and transferred to one in Buffalo for continuing care. That morning, Hamlin was upgraded from critical condition and met several requirements for transport, including no longer needing intensive nursing care or respiratory therapy.
“We’re all gathering information now, we’re going to revisit all of our procedures and processes. This situation, thankfully for this young man, is obviously now trending in a positive way but, boy, we sure can take lessons learned from this and make ourselves better.” CFL teams are required to have AED machines at their facilities for use at all practices and games and have dedicated emergency on-field staff who are proficient in their operation. During games, the home team must ensure ambulance, paramedic and other emergency medical services are available in the stadium throughout the contest.While the NFL has medical tents on its sidelines, the CFL has a spotter in its command centre who has access to a camera that can see all 24 players on the field.
Ambrosie said conversations initiated at these meetings could lead to the CFL tweaking or changing its medical protocols.
