Sports like hockey, skiing and speed skating are defined by their finesse, power, speed and agility.  However, protection has become smaller and lighter, while athletes have become stronger and faster.   Skate blades are one of the single biggest dangers on the ice, accounting for a minimum 15% of injuries.  While ski edges have become so finely tuned for racers, they present a risk as well.

Whether an athlete is skating in close proximity to others or due a crash, or a skier loses control in a split second,  the consequences to critical arteries, muscle or tendons can be serious if proper protection is not worn. Whether in training or competition, new to the sport or experienced, these injuries do not discriminate and can happen in an instant. Assuming injuries won’t happen to you or your child is an ineffective strategy...often realized when it’s too late.
