Risks of playing Hockey
As we are all aware, hockey can be a dangerous game with fast moving sticks and a hard ball. Accidents can happen even in games played in the best of spirits. Most of us have had injuries at one time or another, from a sprained ankle to pulled muscles to astro ‘carpet burn’ knees. Thankfully, injuries of a more serious nature are rare and certainly with the right protective equipment, can be minimised. However, if you suffer an injury that causes bleeding you are required to leave the field to have it covered . This is why we’d like to remind players of the precautions they can take to protect themselves. So if you don’t already wear a mouth guard, please consider getting a properly fitted one
made and wear it to all matches and even at training. From an insurance point of view, please note that Welwyn Garden City Hockey Club does not insure individual members for personal injuries sustained during hockey activities – due to the prohibitive costs to do so. However, we do have ‘employer liability’ insurance, which covers third party accidents. We would advise you to check whether your own household or any other insurance policy you hold, will cover you for medical and/or dental treatment, days lost from work etc, in the event of injury sustained when playing and/or training.
There are personal insurance plans you can take out, including specialist sports insurance policies. Whilst not an exhaustive list, more details can be found on the England Hockey website – http://www.englandhockey.co.ukPlay safe and enjoy your hockey!
