beer league insurance

this question is for the adult players out there.

does your league have insurance for injuries that's NOT USA Hockey/HockeyCanada insurance?

some background: our league is instituting a full facial protection rule next Summer for all levels except the Elite players. the main reason is due to rising insurance costs caused by players with half shields (already required) needing expensive dental work and other facial injuries. as you can imagine, there's pushback and whining "I'm an adult! it should be my choice!" but as an independent (non-rink) league, insurance is crucial. at least one of the rink0run leagues in town dropped USA Hockey insurance years ago and now just goes without any.

All the rinks I’ve played at require USA Hockey insurance. I used to think it was a stupid additional fee, but did take advantage of it about 6 years ago when I injured myself. So now it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind

Have never heard of anywhere having insurance beyond USAH. I'd just be using my personal insurance for any injuries anyway, though.
