Job / Duties of the Trainer:
The trainer is responsible for the safety of all players on the team.
- The trainer will protect his or her players from any unsafe conditions on and off the ice, and will react to any injuries to the players. The trainer will ensure that all players wear regulation protective equipment and conduct proper stretching exercises before any activity.
- Every BMHA trainer is required to have on hand at all times an adequate first aid kit for use in any emergency. The trainer must also maintain health and injury records of the players and will recommend any necessary injury avoidance or muscle strengthening exercises. The trainer should also recommend proper diet, fitness, and nutrition programs for the players.
- The trainer is responsible for completing and forwarding a copy of the "Hockey Canada Injury Report” following any hockey-related injury. If a player is removed from a game or a practice due to injury or serious illness and does not return to that game or practice, the player should obtain a note from a physician before he or she is allowed to return to play.
- Any player who sustains a concussion injury must subsequently provide a doctor’s note identifying that the player is fit to return to play hockey prior to joining the team for any game. Depending on the severity, other injuries may also require doctor’s approval before returning to play. If required, the trainer may refer to the appropriate director for guidance.
