Ottawa Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer – David Hollingsworth shares spinal cord injury and hockey news..

From the Canadian Paraplegic Association..

 Almost each and every week throughout the hockey season an amateur or professional hockey player suffers a serious spinal cord injury. From 1982 – 1996, statistics in Canada reported 252 hockey related major spinal cord injuries, followed by Sweden with 54 and the United States with 36. Most of those spinal cord injuries were sustained by players who were 16 to 20 years old who were playing in supervised games which reinforces the necessity of aiming education at  the minor hockey community with the message of skilled and respectful play.

I love my hockey- there is no doubt about it.  I play, my son plays and I hope my daughters will play soon.  It’s so important to educate everyone on the ice about safety the potential dangers on the ice.  A spinal cord injury can happen in a matter of seconds..play safe !
