title: Hockey injuries: a pediatric sport update.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Ice hockey is a fast-paced sport played by an increasing number of children and teens across the nation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The risk of injury in youth hockey is high due to contact from body checking. Youth hockey programs need to educate players, coaches, and parents about the importance of knowing and following the rules as well as the dangers of body checking another player from behind.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In this article, we will present an overview of the types and rates of injuries that occur in ice hockey and then present a detailed review of hip/groin injuries that are commonly diagnosed in these athletes.
