Concussions in ice hockey occur to participants of all ages and all skill levels. Although many people get theseinjuries, the way in which they are injured differs between ages and skill levels, especially in youth ice hockeywhere body checking is not allowed. Body checking is known to result in head impacts causing concussiveinjuries in professional sports, however when this aspect is removed from the game the risks become different.This project is designed to provide a better understanding of how youth ice hockey players can sustain headinjuries. Using video field-data, head impact events can be captured and documented to establish the risksassociated with non-body checking hockey to help facilitate development of better protective strategies foryouth. The proposed research will cover a period of three years consisting of the following investigations:Project 1) video field-data collection covering different age groups and genders to capture head impact events;Project 2) video analysis of head impact events to document the differences in play style between ages andgenders, as well as establishing impact parameters unique to youth ice hockey, Project 3) reconstruction ofhead impact events to benchmark how youth are being hit in the head to understand the response in order toinform industry for innovations. This research will provide the manufacturer and the Canadian helmet industryunique technical information to support youth related innovations in helmet technology to improve headprotection against impacts experienced specifically in youth ice hockey.

冰球中的脑震荡发生在所有年龄和所有技能水平的参与者身上。虽然很多人都会受伤，但他们受伤的方式因年龄和技能水平而异，特别是在不允许进行身体检查的青少年冰球比赛中。众所周知，身体检查会导致头部撞击，导致职业运动中的脑震荡，然而，当这方面从游戏中删除时，风险变得不同。该项目旨在更好地了解青少年冰球运动员如何承受头部损伤。使用视频现场数据，头部撞击事件可以被捕获和记录，以建立与非身体检查曲棍球相关的风险，以帮助促进更好的保护策略的发展foryouth。研究计划为期三年，包括以下调查：项目1）收集不同年龄组别及性别的录像资料，以记录头部撞击事件;项目2）头部撞击事件的视频分析，以记录不同年龄和性别之间的比赛风格差异，以及建立青少年冰球特有的撞击参数，项目3）重建头部撞击事件，以衡量年轻人如何被击中头部，了解反应，以便为行业提供创新信息。这项研究将为制造商和加拿大头盔行业提供独特的技术信息，以支持与青年相关的头盔技术创新，以改善对青年冰球运动中所经历的冲击的头部保护。
