Background: Ice hockey is a dynamic and challenging sport that encompasses forward and
backward skating, speed, agility, mobility and coordination. The physical and biomechanical …

In ice hockey, concussions can occur as a result of many different types of impact events,
however hockey helmets are certified using a single injury scenario, involving drop tests to a …

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between hockey stick shaft stiffness
and puck speed with mechanical energy considerations during stationary wrist and slap …

Background: Recent studies that addressed shot speed in ice hockey have focused on the
relationship between shot speed and variables such as a player's skills or hockey stick …

In current sport equipment evaluation and optimization, most studies consider the body and
an equipment together as one system. This is partially because equipment optimization is …

There has been minimal work examining kinematics of ice hockey wrist shots. The objective
was to determine if puck and blade speed were related to trunk rotation during wrist shots in …

The purpose of this study was to identify joint angular kinematics that corresponds to
shooting accuracy in the stationary ice hockey wrist shot. Twenty-four subjects participated …

The purpose of this study was to examine the “recoil” effect of the ice hockey stick shaft
during a stationary slap shot. Nine male adult subjects (four elite and five recreational) were …

Sensor technology that is unobtrusively integrated into the clothing and equipment of an
athlete can support the training of sport activities and monitor the athlete's progress. In this …

The purpose of this study was to examine the three-dimensional movement profile of the
blade during a stationary slap shot, as a function of player skill level. A total of 15 subjects …
