Register online.

Be inspired by our guest speaker, Ben Fanelli, formerly of the Kitchener Rangers Ontario Hockey League (OHL) team. Ben was six games into his OHL career as a highly touted prospect when he woke up in the hospital with no idea how he got there. He was told upon waking from induced coma that he was lucky to be alive, that sports were out of the question for the rest of his life, and that his brain was bleeding in three different places.

Hear  Ben’s story first-hand, his treatment challenges and how he returned to life.

The panel is made up of:

  • Ben Fanelli – Guest and moderator
  • Dr. Mountjoy – Sports medicine specialist
  • Brett Lyons – Physiotherapist
  • Kristine Dalton – Optometrist, Vision Specialist
  • Carol DeMatteo – Concussion CanChild Researcher, McMaster University

University of Guelph Athletic Centre Events Centre (Garney Henley Entrance off of East Ring Rd).
