Avoiding Injuries on the Ice

Do NOT reach for the puck. When you extend your body out and take a hit it can etheir be very hard on the back or you can injure it really badly.

bvapor, sometimes you kind of have to take the hit...it's unavoidable. Dan_The_Man_16, good advice, That's what happened when i got my shoulder hurt, I was reaching to poke the puck out of the zone.

One more thought - does all your equipment fit correctly? I don't know if that would be the problem, since it sounds like you've had injuries to all different parts of your body, but it could be the cause of some of the injuries especially stuff like shoulder injuries. Make sure you have good protection and that it all fits properly.

Good point DF! You really have to tape knee pads well, because if they shift during a hit, it is like wearing no padding at all!

Stop playing hockey :P

but no sometimes injuries just happen, take it from a guy who had two ACL surgeries in the last year and half...

go to the gym and bulk up and make sure u stretch well before every game
