“…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.

“…With vulcanized rubber pucks traveling at speeds approaching 100 mph, unforgiving fiberglass boards and numerous high-speed collisions, it is a sport with numerous intrinsic hazards. 1 Not surprisingly, it has one of the highest injury rates in all of sports. 2 Orthopedic injuries of National Hockey League (NHL) players are common and may significantly affect players' abilities to return to play and compete at the highest level.…”

Background: Orthopedic injuries of National Hockey League (NHL) players are common and may significantly affect players' health and careers. Evidence-based injury management is important in guiding players' timely return to sport and their ability to play at their preinjury levels of competition. Purpose: To summarize all data published between January 1980 and March 2020 on orthopedic injuries experienced by professional ice hockey players competing in the NHL. Study Design: Systematic review. Methods: A literature review of studies examining orthopedic injuries in the NHL was performed using the Embase, PubMed, and CINAHL databases. The review included studies focusing on NHL players and players attending the NHL Combine and preseason NHL team camps. Studies pertaining to non-orthopedic injuries and case reports were excluded. Results: A total of 39 articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The articles were divided by anatomic site of injury for further analysis: hip and pelvis (24%), general/other (14%), ankle (10%), knee (10%), foot (7%), shoulder (7%), thigh (7%), trunk (7%), spine (6%), elbow (4%), and hand and wrist (4%). The majority of articles were Level IV Evidence (51.3%), followed by Level III Evidence (38.5%). Most studies obtained data from publicly available internet resources (24.7%), player medical records (19.5%) or surveys of team physicians and athletic trainers (15.5%). A much smaller number of studies utilized the NHL Injury Surveillance System (NHLISS) (6.5%) or the Athlete Health Management System (AHMS) (2.6%). Conclusion: This systematic review provides NHL team physicians with a single source of the current literature regarding orthopedic injuries in NHL players. Most research was published on hip and pelvis (24%) injuries, did not utilize the NHLISS and consisted of Level IV Evidence.

“…Skating is an elementary movement in ice hockey that makes players fast for straights, with speeds of more than 40 kph, and quick for changes in direction (CODs) [ 1 , 2 ]. Therefore, the skating skills represented by sprints, cutting maneuvers, turns, weave agility, breaks, hits and acceleration [ 3 ] represent the ability to achieve success in ice hockey [ 4 , 5 ].…”

The specificity of motor learning tasks for skating development in older school-age children has not been sufficiently explored. The main objective was to compare the effects of training programs using change-of-direction (COD) speed exercises and partial skating task (SeqT) training on speed and agility performance in U12 ice hockey players. Thirteen young ice hockey males (13 ± 0.35 years, 41.92 ± 9.76 kg, 152.23 ± 9.41 cm) underwent three straight speed (4 and 30 m with and without a puck) and agility testing sessions before and after six weeks of COD training and then after a six-week intervention involving partial skating task (SeqT) training. The statistics were performed using magnitude-based decision (MBD) analysis to calculate the probability of the performance change achieved by the interventions. The MBD analysis showed that COD training had a large effect (11.7 ± 2.4% time decrease) on skating start improvement (straight sprint 4 m) and a small effect (−2.2 ± 2.4%) on improvement in agility with a puck. Partial skating task (SeqT) training had a large effect (5.4 ± 2.5%) on the improvement of the 30-m sprint with a puck and moderate effect on agility without a puck (1.9 ± 0.9%) and likely improved the 30-m sprint without a puck (2.6 ± 1.3%). COD training on the ice improves short starts and agility with a puck, while partial skating tasks (SeqT) target longer 30-m sprints and agility without a puck. Therefore, both types of training should be applied in accordance with motor learning tasks specific to current training needs.
