  2. Risk Management • A proactive approach aimed at preventing accidents and injuries before they happen • Program Elements: • Identification – of potential risks • Assessment – of risk significance • Elimination or Minimization • Insurance

  3. Risk Management • Identifying and Minimizing begins long before, during, and after any game • Before arriving at arena • Road/Weather conditions • Fitness • Fatigue levels • Alcohol consumption (NONE!!!) • Nutrition • Equipment • Any others?

  4. Risk Management • Before the Game • Arena layout • Security • Dressing Room Guidelines • Males and females in dressing room at the same time = DOOR OPEN • Never change at the same time. One gender changes to an appropriate level, then leaves and the other does the same • Only officials and supervisors are allowed in the officials’ room • If minors are in the room with adults, its acceptable for a parent of the minor to be in the room as well • Cameras or camera phones are forbidden

  5. Risk Management • Pre-Game On the Ice • Ice conditions • Ruts, bare sports, debris • Arena conditions • Boards • Lighting • Glass • Equipment • Yours • Players

  6. Risk Management • During the Game • Penalty Calls • Areas of Emphasis • “Turn, Face and Brace” • Never turn your back to puck or player contact • Turn – towards impact to maximize your protection (i.e. equipment, arms) • Face – the shooter, use your voice to discourage the shot • Brace – for impact. Use arms to deflect blows. Be in an “athletic” stance (knees bent, feet shoulder-width apart) • NEVER climb boards

  7. Risk Management • During the Game • Injury protocol • STOP play if you suspect player is severely injured • Don’t move or try to assist injured player. • Let the trainer do their job. • Your job is to control the rest of the players • Send them to the benches • Remain in the area to offer assistance if requested

  8. Risk Management • During the Game • Blood Procedures • Although the risk of transmission of blood-borne disease (HIV, Hepatitis) is small during a hockey game, it still exists • Players/officials with open wounds should not return to a game until the bleeding is stopped, and the wound is clean and dressed • Bloody equipment/clothing should be removed prior to re-entering the game. Wash soiled clothes in hot water before using again. • If contact with bodily fluids occurs, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical advise/testing to rule out the possibility of disease transmission

  9. Risk Management • Post-Game • Security • Building Exits • Equipment Maintenance • Replenishing fluids/post-game meals • Travel • Road conditions • Fatigue • Alcohol consumption
