...Brent E. Faught; Joseph Baker; John Cairney; Paul N. Corey; William J. Montelpare; Murray Nystrom It is common for athlete exposure (AE) and body contact (BC) to be incorrectly estimated in epidemiologic research due to the technical challenges associated with field-based research in ice hockey...

...Amber Giacomazzi; Terry Smith; Robert Kersey This paper reports on the results of a study to determine the protective characteristics of ice hockey helmets when tested using two different methodologies. The first methodology involved a traditional monorail drop impact test commonly used in North...

...Robert F. LaPrade; Coen A. Wijdicks; Stanislav I. Spiridonov While relatively well protected and padded, ice-hockey goaltenders are at risk for impact injuries. There is little information regarding the incidence and mechanism of intercollegiate ice-hockey goaltender injuries. We prospectively...

...Leonard K. Lucenko This paper will discuss the duties facility owners and operators owe participants and spectators in the ice skating and ice hockey environment. These duties have been established by case law, standards in the industry, and the safety and risk management literature in sports...

...I. J. S. Williamson; D. Goodman Ice hockey ranks among the highest of all sports for rates of concussion, and estimates from youth hockey appear ominously close to estimates from the NHL (23.15 and 29.59 per 1000 player-hours, respectively), yet concussion is seldom studied in the youth setting...

...N. R. Coulson; S. G. Foreman; T. B. Hoshizaki In this study, the relationship between flagrant impacts to the head and peak translational and rotational accelerations in reconstructed ice hockey impacts was examined. A Hybrid III head-neck complex attached to a sliding table and equipped with nine...

...L. Lamb; A. Post; T. B. Hoshizaki Currently, ice hockey helmet technologies are based mainly around foam energy absorbers. There is a need in the head protection industry for improved designs, capable of protecting the brain under a wide range of impact conditions. Air chambers are new, thin-walled...

... to represent a reconstruction of helmet, shoulder, and elbow strikes to the head. Six different ice hockey helmets were impacted using a pneumatic linear impactor at velocities similar to those encountered in ice hockey. The results were then compared to impacts to an unhelmeted headform. The data demonstrated...

.... Beaver,5 Edward R. Laskowski,6 and William F. Young, Jr.7 Psychophysiologic Factors and Performance in Ice Hockey Goalies During Competition ABSTRACT: Studying goalies, who play a key position in hockey requires examining psychophysiologic variables and their relationship to performance during games when...

...BJ Crawford; MJ Stuart; AM Smith; RD Brennan The purpose of this investigation was to examine the components of intimidation in ice hockey and to determine their effects on players, coaches, and referees. In a pilot test, hockey coaches (N = 17) from three levels of participation were invited...
