AB Ice  hockey  is  often  described  as  the  fastest  team  game,1-9  yet  the  speed  and  style  of  play  have  led  to  descriptions  of  ice  hockey  as  a  violent,  aggressive  sport2  with  a  high  risk  for  a  myriad  of  injuries.10  Ice  hockey  is  a  game  played  by  two  opposing  teams,  each  consisting  of  six  players  (on  the  ice  at  any  one  time),  made  up  of  three  forward  players  (a  center  and  a  right  and  a  left  winger),  two  defense  players,  and  a  goaltender.  The  objective  of  the  game  is  for  one  team  of  players  to  place  the  puck  into  the  opponents’  goal  by  overcoming  the  defensive  strategies  and  tactics  of  the  opposition.
