  • Falls, slips and collisions with other players, equipment or rink structures.

  • Sprains, strains, fractures, cuts, bruises and other injuries.

  • Concussions and other head injuries.

  • Uneven ice surfaces, changing ice conditions and outdoor environmental hazards.

  • Cold temperatures, snow, wind and other weather conditions.

  • Equipment failure, improper equipment use or inadequate protective equipment.

  • Actions or negligence of other participants.

I acknowledge that injuries may occur despite reasonable safety precautions and agree to the risks associated with my child's participation.

I agree that my child will:

  • Wear all required protective hockey equipment.

  • Follow league rules, safety instructions and directions from coaches and officials.

I voluntarily authorize my child to participate in the West Carleton Outdoor Hockey League.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, I agree to release and discharge CBBCA, its directors, volunteers, staff, coaches, officials and representatives from claims arising from the ordinary risks of participation.

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless CBBCA from claims arising from my child's participation or conduct, except where caused by proven negligence or where otherwise prohibited by law.

I understand that a player suspected of having a concussion must be removed from play and may return only in accordance with applicable concussion management requirements.

5. Medical Information and Emergency Care

I agree to provide accurate information about medical conditions, allergies or other health considerations relevant to my child's safe participation.

In the event of an injury or medical emergency, I authorize CBBCA representatives to seek appropriate emergency medical assistance when a parent or guardian cannot be reached promptly.
