Small School college football player creates invention that could help with concussions and deadly skate lacerations in hockey

A small school football player has created an invention that is supposed to stop concussions as well as deadly skate lacerations in hockey.

Carter Hogg is a sophomore who plays football for Johns Hopkins University, and the founder and CEO of G8RTech. The flexible, protective apparel he created, G8RSkin, was initially developed to reduce concussions.

It looks like a wrap that goes around the head, and it is so amazing. They say on the page it can prevent slash injuries to the neck of hockey players and they are working to stop concussions.

G8RSkin is made with perforated materials that have sweat wicking properties. These qualities help ensure it doesn’t contribute to added heat while guarding against some of the most serious injuries hockey players suffer.

The product has caught the attention of USA Hockey team physician Dr. Charles Popkin, who is on the company’s medical advisory committee.

USA Hockey wants neck protectors to become a required piece of equipment in the game.

Hogg says he is lucky to come from a line of entrepreneurs, and his father has created over 500 patents.

This is pretty cool! I love it, keep it up Carter.
