We were thrilled to be the providers of on site medical services again this year. Our EAP was tested (in very unique ways). The staff that we assembled this year was nothing short of perfection. Thank you to the amazing AT's that spent some seriously long hours at the rink over the last 11 days.

After hosting the national championships in 2022, St. Louis is receiving rave reviews again this year.

We’ve seen the impacts of sharp skates, arteries nicked or narrowly missed and other significant injuries, in our own, local hockey kids. Making sure you/your kids are wearing/using safety equipment correctly and consistently helps keep the sport and everyone on the ice and benches as safe as possible.

We are advocating for neck guards to be required by hockey clubs including by Missouri Hockey and Mid-States Hockey.

Regardless of league requirement, we strongly urge all players to add neck guards to your gear.

We have to be held to a higher standard, the relationships between AT's and coaches should never be about winning. An AT's job is to provide care for everyone on the field, winning is a bonus. Player safety should never be compromised.

While this did NOT occur here in St. Louis last night, it serves as a reminder of just how quickly bad things can happen during a game, or practice, or just in the locker room. Thankfully, this player will make a full recovery, without permanent damage. When coaches and administrators, league and tournament directors plan events, too often the medical professionals are the last one's who are contacted, and generally are contacted after budgets are discussed and set.

I cannot emphasize enough, how fast things can go wrong in a game like hockey. The pace is sometimes furious, and there are 12-16 pairs of razor sharp skates in a 200' x 85' area.

Having a licensed medical provider who is specifically trained to handle athletic injuries, including emergencies like this one, or most recently the dislocated knee from the NFL, on site should never be debated.

St. Louis Athletic Training Services, provides ONLY licensed Athletic Trainers to sports of all levels.

What we say everyday....

Sudden deaths and catastrophic injuries in sports are devastating events. What is one of the best ways to ensure that the correct steps are taken in those critical moments? Make sure that there is an athletic trainer present at practices and games.

40 years of being the medical director for such a prestigious event, and coordinating 1400+ medical personnel, some well deserved recognition.
