Injury Reports
Should
an injury occur during a game or practice, a Hockey Canada Injury Report
MUST be filled out by the acting trainer for the player's
team. The form is comprehensive, but please keep additional notes as necessary
to ensure an accurate recollection of the events resulting in the injury.
An injury report form in pdf format can be downloaded here (Hockey
Canada Injury Report Form).
