Two main areas of research

Development andevaluation of the

Play It Cool Program

A multidisciplinaryapproach to injury

prevention research


3/22

The Play it Cool program was designed tohelp generate awareness and prevention of

spinal cord injuries and neurotrauma(e.g.concussion) in ice hockey

Play it Cool Delivered Online

The Play it Cool program is delivered to coaches in an

8 week facilitated online course, in which 7 modulesare presented by experienced individuals using a web-based format.COMPETENCY BASED MODULES INCLUDE:

3 Ethics and Sportsmanship

5 Skating Skills

7 Principles of play

9 Awareness of the playing area

11 Teaching techniques and building an optimum environment

13 Teaching checking as a skill

15 Controlling risk as a coach

Future Directions The proposed program of research

planned for the next five years is

intended to use a variety of innovativeapproaches to developing, delivering,and evaluating injury preventioneducation and research.

At the core of the proposed programwill be the on-going development ofinjury prevention research specifically

related to neurotraumaas a function ofpursuits in ice hockey.
