The Science of Injury in Sport: The Ice Hockey Perspective
Dr. William J. Montelpare, Ph.D.,Professor, School of Kinesiology
Two main areas of research
Development and evaluation of the
Play It Cool Program
A multidisciplinary approach to injury
prevention research
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
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:
1 Ethics and Sportsmanship
2 Skating Skills
3 Principles of play
4 Awareness of the playing area
5 Teaching techniques and building an optimum environment
6 Teaching checking as a skill
7 Controlling risk as a coach
Features of the programThe 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
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
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
“Introducing Gary The Goal Light”
A graphic comic style approach directing the safe hockey and injury prevention message to young playerscreated by Ryan Ryan
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
A multidisciplinary approach to studying injury prevention through neurotrauma related events in ice hockey
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.

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.
