N2  - Ice hockey is a fast-paced contact sport that is becoming increasingly popular in North America. More than 1 million men, women, and juniors are playing hockey in the United States and Canada. With players colliding forcefully with one another and with the boards surrounding the ice, injury rates are among the highest in all of competitive sports. Physicians caring for a hockey team should be aware of the more common injuries, involving the head, the neck, and the shoulder. In this review, we discuss evaluation and treatment of these hockey injuries, return to play, and, where applicable, prevention strategies.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
