Reporting an Injury

Procedure for Reporting an Injury
 
Each player on the team must have a completed medical information sheet and the trainer should have the forms accessible at every team function, this includes but is not limited to games, practices and tournaments.

An HEO Injury Report Form must be completed in the following cases:
  • If a player or team official is injured during a game and misses more than one period.
  • If a player or team official is injured during a practice or other association-sanctioned function and requires medical attention.
  • If a player or team official reports an injury after the fact (e.g. player is injured during a game and continues play, however attends a doctor the next day for the injury).
It is imperative that the above form is completed in a timely manner to ensure that any potential insurance claims are dealt with appropriately.

Any player returning from an injury must present a doctor's letter* stating clearance to participate in minor hockey (with or without contact).

Any team official and this includes:

If there is an injury that meets the above criteria the Silver Seven Hockey Club requests that our Director Risk and Discipline be notified as soon as possible risk@silversevenhockey.com further it is required that a copy of any of the above form be scanned and sent via email.

Explain to them that this form is used to register a potential claim for expenses related to the injury should the parents/guardians incur expenses not covered through
1) provincial health coverage or
2) by personal insurance through their employer.
When completed, they should mail the form within 90 days to the ODMHA offices along with any original receipts.
