Abstract

Previous studies concerning ice-hockey-related injuries have identified various patterns of injury including mechanism and anatomic site. Few studies have dealt with the correlation between injury and geographic location on the ice surface. A three-year retrospective analysis of data collected by the Injury Report System identifies injury patterns by zone and involvement of the physical facility.
