Published in: Prehospital and disaster medicine (2022)

Hockey is a safe sport to watch, although HPS are the spectator hazard of concern given that pucks can travel into the stands at 100mph. Most injuries are minor and occur only one percent of the time; but when they do occur, these fans tend to need transport to the hospital. Finally, HPS tend to occur along the lateral sides of the rink where the glass level is lower and there is no protective netting.
