...Which is slightly better than my current hockey days of torn shoulders and broken ribs... (ah, but if only for the love of the game!):
You have received some good tips. When I developed shin splints a while ago my buddy's girlfriend was a marathoner. She recommended ice and rest but when I started running again, buy new inserts for a little added padding in the heel cup. Never had shin splints again. I imagine now there's even better stuff out there to help with this.

Thanks for all the advice. He is not running until next week (rest), taking some anti-inflamitory meds, stretching and strengthening his calf muscles, and I believe he will be visiting the running store this weekend. He has gotten shin splints a few of times over the past 4 years (usually at the very beginning of cross country season) and I let the coach handle it during practice. I am a football coach so don't have a lot of experience treating shin splints. I normally am dealing with impact and joint injuries which I have alot of experience with through my own injuries(two surgical procedures) and taking care of players.
This is for you LITS:
