Trainers

The trainer must:

  • Be present and have their first-aid kit at all OWHA events: games, practices and dry land training.  If the team trainer cannot be present, it is their responsibility to find a replacement who is a registered trainer.  If the team trainer cannot make a game at the last minute and you have no replacement, you may request to utilize the trainer from the opposing team.  That trainer must be recorded for both teams on the game sheet.
  • Collect medical information for all players and keep it confidential, but readily available if required in an emergency.
  • Advise the Coaching Committee of any serious injuries that occur to any WGMHA player.  A serious injury can be classified as an injury that sidelines a player for two weeks or more.  Minor injuries are not required to be reported to the Coaching Committee.  Injuries must also be reported to the OWHA as outlined on the OWHA Hockey Canada Injury Report forms.
  • Create an emergency action plan and ensure at least two adults are assigned.
  • Be aware of and follow the removal from play and return to play protocols as required by Rowan’s Law for all concussions.
  • Maintain and restock trainer bag as needed.
  • Attend Woolwich Wild training session in the Fall.
