HockeyHKWS 24-25 Circular No. 26 - Request for Injury Reports from Clubs
Dear Club Convenors,
The Women’s Section has noticed an increase in reports of injuries occurring during hockey matches and training sessions this past season. However, we currently lack sufficient data to identify common causes, patterns, or potential preventative measures.
To ensure the safety and well-being of all players on the pitch, we kindly request your cooperation in providing detailed information about any significant injuries sustained by your players during the past season. Specifically, we are looking for on-pitch injuries that resulted in:
- An ambulance being called,
- Operations or medical interventions being required, or
- A long-term break from hockey.
- Head injury which required the participant to leave the field of play
We also kindly request that all future injuries of this nature be reported on the match card in the remarks section for proper documentation. For injuries sustained during training sessions, you are welcome to continue reporting them by filling in the attached Google Form.
The type of injury, as well as any relevant circumstances, is critical for us to analyse and develop appropriate safety measures or advice for the future.
In the meantime, we strongly encourage the continued use of safe hockey practices, such as wearing mouthguards and protective shin guards, during all hockey activities.
Please fill out the attached injury report form and submit it no later than 28 February, 2025. Your cooperation will help us create a safer environment for all players.

Thank you for your attention and support.
Kind Regards,
HockeyHKWS
