I further understand and agree that participating in hockey is a potentially dangerous activity. Bumps, bruises, scrapes, scratches and soreness are commonplace, and most participants will encounter this sort of minor injury from time to time. More serious injuries are possible, including sprains, strains, twists, cramps, fractured bones, broken bones, torn ligaments and injuries of similar magnitude. Participation also includes possible exposure to and illness from infectious and communicable viruses and diseases including influenza and COVID-19. While particular rules and guidelines may reduce the risk associated with participation, the risk of serious illness and death does exist. I am also aware that I should discuss my participation in any CARHA Hockey activity with my physician to determine the effect on my current health. It is my right and responsibility as a participant to immediately remove myself from participation in the program and notify the nearest official, if at any time I sense any unusual hazard or unsafe condition or if I feel that I am physically, emotionally, or mentally unfit for continued participation in the program.
