Injury Management

If a player is unable to continue in a game or practice due to an injury, the following should be completed: 

1. Complete the injury reporting log

2. If an injury requires medical referral and/or hospitalization:

  • Advise the parents to have a Return to Play form completed by a medical professional
  • For Concussions this will need to be completed by a Medical Doctor
  • Complete and submit a Hockey Canada Injury Report.
  • Advise the parents of their options to have the Hockey Canada Injury Report signed and then submitted, as an additional source of health insurance.

3. The HCSP should have the Return to Play form uploaded to the child's ePACT account. Concussion Return to Play protocols (6-Step Return to Play) must be followed.

The safety person should avoid treating injuries out of sight of others. Use the “Rule of Two” supervision system.
