TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Characteristics of ice hockey-related injuries treated in us emergency departments, 2001-2002 (Letter, authors' reply) JO - Pediatrics A1 - Xiang, Huiyun A1 - Smith, Gary A. A1 - Hostetler, S SP - 1449 EP - 1449 VL - 115 IS - 5 N2 - We thank Dr Luke for his comments regarding our recent article. He and his colleagues are to be applauded for their efforts to reduce injuries among a high-injury-risk group (15- to 18-year-olds) by placing greater restrictions on foul play than those outlined by USA Hockey. Unfortunately, the statistics provided by Dr Luke are not enough to support the claim that the number of hockey-related injuries has been significantly reduced in their league players.
