Common injuries:

As Ice Hockey is a full contact sport, there is a high risk of serious injury sustained by players.

For this reason, if you are going to play ice hockey whilst on holiday, it is important you purchase travel insurance that covers the sport before leaving the country.

The main injuries that are commonly incurred by ice hockey players are:

• Head injury
• Face injury
• Scalp injury
• Cuts
• Abrasions
• Lacerations
• Contusions
• Concussions
• Ligament tear
• Sprains
• Strains
• Fractures
• Breaks

Injuries tend to occur from direct impact (either from collision or checking with another player, or with a stick, puck or the ice) or from a fall.

To minimise the risk of injury, it is vital that ice hockey players wear protective gear whilst playing, including mouth guards and helmets.
