Common Youth Hockey Injuries...

According to findings published online in the journal Pediatrics, fractures and concussions are the most frequent injuries seen among youth ice hockey players. The research team reviewed records on 168 injuries to 155 children aged 18 years or younger with ice hockey-related injuries who were seen at a single, level 1 pediatric trauma center in Minnesota. Overall, extremity injuries were the most common, followed by traumatic brain injury (TBI), with injuries to the spine, face, and trunk being less common.
