  1. The Science of Injury in Sport: The Ice Hockey Perspective Dr. William J. Montelpare, Ph.D., Professor, School of Kinesiology

  2. Two main areas of research Development and evaluation of the Play It Cool Program A multidisciplinary approach to injury prevention research

  3. The Play it Cool program was designed to help generate awareness and prevention of spinal cord injuries and neurotrauma (e.g.concussion) in ice hockey

  4. Play it Cool Delivered Online The Play it Cool program is delivered to coaches in an “8” week facilitated online course, in which 7 modules are presented by experienced individuals using a web-based format. COMPETENCY BASED MODULES INCLUDE: Ethics and Sportsmanship Skating Skills Principles of play Awareness of the playing area Teaching techniques and building an optimum environment Teaching checking as a skill Controlling risk as a coach

  5. Features of the program The web based delivery includes: • all forms of multimedia • a discussion board for each cohort of 10-12 coaches • a blog page delivered by the facilitator to generate discussion • web enabled surveys

  6. The modules include: • Animation and video that demonstrates how to carry out a safe hockey drill • Specific information related to the intention of the drill • As well as the injury risks which can be avoided by using this type of drill Steer, angle, and contain drill

  7. Teaching Hockey Through Games Each coach is issued a games manual which was prepared as a resource and consists of some 56 low organizational games to assist in teaching safe hockey created by Malcolm Sutherland

  8. “IntroducingGary The Goal Light” A graphic comic style approach directing the safe hockey and injury prevention message to young players created by Ryan Ryan

  9. Participants include … Coaches from the Ontario Hockey Federation, Ottawa District Hockey Association, Hockey Northwest Ontario, Massachusetts Hockey League, The Rochester Hockey Federation in conjunction with the Mayo Clinic

  10. A multidisciplinary approach to studying injury prevention through neurotrauma related events in ice hockey

  11. Evaluating the precursors that underlie neurotrauma • Throughout this phase of our research we investigated several aspects of ice hockey participants that underlie the likelihood for neurotrauma related event. Head Impact Telemetric System

  12. HITS computer screen

  13. Measuring time on task On submit the data are written to a data set for subsequent analysis

  14. Online Injury Surveillance System

  15. Faught Aerobic Skating Test (FAST)  

  16. Neck Strength Measurement Device

  17. Examples of Neuro-cognitive tests Connors Continuous Performance Test Attention Network Test

  18. Measures of Balance

  19. Using game film analysis

  20. PEAK field system for kinematic analysis

  21. Future Directions • The proposed program of research planned for the next five years is intended to use a variety of innovative approaches to developing, delivering, and evaluating injury prevention education and research. • At the core of the proposed program will be the on-going development of injury prevention research specifically related to neurotrauma as a function of pursuits in ice hockey.
