Player safety is our top priority. All injuries must be documented properly to ensure the well-being of our athletes and to support potential insurance claims.
Every player must have a completed Medical Information Sheet on file.
Trainers must keep these sheets accessible at all times — during games, practices, and tournaments.
For a quick visual reference, trainers can use the OWHA “What to Do When There Is an Injury” guide.
This one-page checklist outlines the key steps for completing and submitting the OWHA Injury Form, including required timelines and contact information for assistance.
Key reminders from the guide:
Complete all sections of the OWHA Injury Form, including health insurance details.
Submit forms to the OWHA within 90 days of the incident.
Original receipts must be mailed to the OWHA office within 52 weeks of the accident for reimbursement.
For help, contact insurance@owha.on.ca or call 905-282-9980.
Submit the Hockey Canada Insurance Form if:
A player or team official is injured during a game and misses more than one period.
A player or team official is injured during a practice or any other sanctioned event and requires medical attention.
A player or team official reports an injury after the fact (for example, they finished the game but sought medical attention later).
Forms must be completed as soon as possible to ensure insurance claims are processed correctly.
Email a copy of the completed form to erica@pcwave.ca
Keep a copy of all documents for your own records.
Send a copy of the completed injury report to the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA) at insurance@owha.on.ca
These reports are used for tracking and improving player safety across the sport.
All injury and personal information is strictly confidential. It should never be used to evaluate a player’s ability to continue participating in hockey.
Provide the partially completed Canadian Hockey Injury Report to the player’s parent or guardian.
Explain that this form is required to submit an insurance claim for medical expenses not covered by OHIP or their personal insurance.
Parents/guardians must mail the completed form and original receipts to OWHA within 90 days.
