Ice Hockey Travel Insurance

What is ice hockey with full body protection?

Ice hockey is a fast-paced contact sport played on ice, where players use sticks to score goals with a puck. When played with full body protection, including certified helmets, pads, gloves, and guards, it reduces the risk of serious injury. It is popular for both competitive matches and recreational tournaments worldwide.
