[Major hockey injuries: a three-year study]

F Bouchard

    Canadian Medical Association Journal
    |September 17, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Junior hockey players sustained frequent injuries, with forwards and 19-year-olds most affected. Lower limb injuries, particularly to the knee, were most common, often caused by pucks, checks, or sticks.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Injury Epidemiology
    • Biomechanics

    Context:

    • Analysis of injury data from a major junior hockey team over three seasons (1973-1976).
    • Examined injury rates, types, causes, and player demographics in a high-level junior hockey league.
    • Investigated the impact of injuries on practice and game participation.

    Purpose:

    • To identify the incidence and characteristics of injuries in junior ice hockey.
    • To determine the most common injury sites, causes, and player positions affected.
    • To understand the relationship between player age and injury risk.

    Summary:

    • A total of 238 injuries were recorded across 257 games, averaging 0.926 injuries per game.
    • Forwards (45.8%) and 19-year-old players (42.0%) experienced the highest injury rates.
    • Lower limb injuries (38.2%), especially knee injuries, and upper limb injuries, particularly shoulder injuries, were prevalent. Common causes included puck impacts (21.0%), checks (18.5%), stick impacts (14.7%), and fights (13.4%).

    Impact:

    • Findings highlight key risk factors and vulnerable player groups in junior hockey, informing injury prevention strategies.
    • Provides baseline data for future research on hockey-related injuries and their management.
    • Emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to reduce the incidence and severity of injuries in young hockey athletes.
