“…Game role -forward and fullback. In the distribution of groups were taken into account the features of physical development: the beginning of the pubertal period is characterized by great variability in the parameters of physical development [19]. The distribution for groups was conducted in steps of one year: 13 years old hockey players (mean age 13.31 ± 0.48 years, n = 16); 14 years old hockey players (age 14.22 ± 0.42 years, n = 26); 15 years old hockey players (age 15.22 ± 0.43 years, n = 18); 16 years old hockey players (age 16.24 ± 0.44 years, n = 23).…”

“…In various countries, power collisions have been permitted since the age of 10-12 years. This leads to a significant increase in the risk of injury to hockey players of childhood and adolescence [19][20][21]. Hockey agents and scouts of hockey teams pay much attention to the analysis of the indicators of game statistics and physical development parameters of prospective players [22].…”

Purpose:Identify the age features of hockey players aged 13-16 years old physical development. Material:Elite hockey players (n = 83, age -13-16 years) were surveyed. Standard anthropometric methods for measuring length and body weight were used. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Results:The average value of the body length of hockey players did not differ from peers, who do not engage in sports. The cental distribution of the absolute values of the indicator relative to nomograms has been shifted to the right. Most hockey players had average body lengths. The excess of the average body weight of hockey players was recorded in comparison with the average population values. The cental distribution of absolute values was characterized by a significant shift to the right (range 3% -90% percentile). Most hockey players had a body weight "above average" (55-66%). The group of athletes with body weight and BMI "below average" was 6% (age from 13 to 15 years). Conclusions:The physical development of elite hockey players is characterized by an average body length with a tendency to shift to values "above average". The proportion of hockey players with mean body lengths below the midpopulation is very small. Elite hockey players are characterized by large body weight and BMI compared to peers who do not engage in sports. As the age increases from the morphological criteria, the body weight and BMI have the greatest value for the hockey player's success in sports selection.

Sport-related concussions are a serious public health issue. While concussions are prevalent among all age groups, youth sport participants are at a greater risk of sustaining such injury due to their immature brain structure and the lack of concussion management policies at the organizational level compared with those found in intercollegiate and professional sports (Kim, Spengler, & Connaughton, 2016). To address this problem, legislation has been adopted in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to mandate some of the standardized measures of concussion management. The purpose of this study was to review the existing state concussion statutes. The statutes were obtained via the LEXIS/NEXIS and West Law databases. Key categories were selected by the researchers and language was compared among statutes. Although the vast majority of concussion statutes shared some similarities, a comprehensive review revealed wide inconsistencies in language. Suggestions that promote more consistency among statutes on language that is beneficial to the safety of youth, as well as recommendations for possible amendments, are provided in the discussion.

“…Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI), have become an inevitable outcome of many contact sports such as ice hockey which has one of highest incidence rates of brain trauma [1][2][3][4]. About 1.8 to 3.6 million cases of mTBI have been reported for sport and recreational activities with 65% of them occurring among youth athletes (5 to 18 years old) [5,6]. Prevalence of concussive injuries and the lifetime neurodegenerative disorders associated with them have risen many concerns in the past decades which has been the motivation of much research [7][8][9][10][11].…”

Increasing the protection efficiency of helmets is counted as the biggest challenge in ice hockey. The main objective of this study is twofold: first to understand the effect of fitting on the protection capability of ice hockey helmets, and second to determine a possible optimal fit with respect to minimum head accelerations. A purpose-built monorail drop tower was utilized to perform front and front boss impacts at a velocity of 4.47m/s on a custom headform outfitted with a commercial helmet (CCM Resistance) with no gap (tight fit), 2mm (regular fit), and 5 mm gaps (loose fit). It was observed that while in both impacts linear accelerations were lower for the regular fit model, the loose fit model predicted the lowest angular accelerations. A loosely-fitted helmet provides non-deterministic shifting upon impact which generally leads to a wider standard deviation of linear and angular accelerations. The results indicated that in front impacts while introducing a gap reduced the risk of focal injuries, only the loose fit model suggested lower risks of concussive injuries. However, the regular and loose fit models showed better protection against focal and concussive injuries in the front boss impacts, respectively.
