Player Health & Safety
Hockey is a contact sport and like all contact sports has a risk of injury. As part of our teams safety awareness all players are required to take the ImPACT Baseline test prior to playing their first game. This testing can then be used as one of several diagnostic tools by physicians assessing a player with concussion symptoms. A link to the site is below.

USA Hockey has provided coaches with many tools to develop player checking skills. Checking is a skill and needs to be practiced like all skills. The like below is a model off ice practice plan. Our team will incorporate parts of this to our off ice sessions. Please review it and use it on your own. In short, players that struggle with these drills will have a more difficult time with on ice drills.
