Player Safety Comes First

Player safety is a top priority for the Metcalfe District Hockey Association (MDHA).

MDHA is committed to providing a safe, respectful and inclusive hockey environment for players, coaches, officials, volunteers and families. Our Health & Safety information supports concussion awareness, injury prevention, injury reporting, safe sport participation, emergency preparedness and participant well-being.

MDHA follows applicable requirements and guidance established by Hockey Canada, Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO), Gloucester Hockey Association (GHA) and Ontario's Rowan's Law.

MDHA considers an injury to include any hockey-related incident requiring assessment, support, treatment, monitoring or documentation, regardless of whether the participant immediately returns to play. See the Injury Reporting page for additional information and reporting expectations.

Questions or concerns regarding injuries, concussions, emergency preparedness, risk management or participant safety should be directed to the MDHA VP Discipline, Risk & Safety.
