3. Safety
We strongly encourage all teams visiting the tournament to have an emergency plan in place and to
remember to restock your trainers and first aid kits.
For your own safety and the safety of your trainers, should a player be injured during a game, please
wait until the official stops the play before entering the ice surface.
In the event of a serious injury, please notify the arena staff and the tournament official immediately.
Players requiring a hospital will most likely be taken to Lakeridge Health Oshawa.

3.1 Concussions
In the event a player suffers a concussion or if you feel that your player may have suffered a concussion,
please exercise extreme caution and have your player seen by a doctor immediately and rest them for
the remainder of the tournament. Concussions are traumatic brain injuries and are to be taken very
seriously. In addition, most concussions are deemed by players or parents as “non-injuries” and go
unreported….so even if the symptoms aren’t severe or serious, please complete an accident report and
submit it.
