What is it: The Hockey Canada Insurance Program offers secondary insurance for players, team officials, officials, and volunteers engaged in sanctioned events. This coverage helps support families by offsetting eligible injury-related costs not covered by primary providers.
How to access it: In the event of an injury at a sanctioned activity, a team official completes the Injury Report Form and provides it to the parent/player for signatures, insurance information, and the physician’s statement. The completed form must be submitted to the Branch Office within 90 days, with any claim-related receipts submitted within 52 weeks of the injury. All documentation is processed by the Branch Office before being forwarded to Hockey Canada for final review and reimbursement.
Quick hits:
• Injury Reports must be submitted within 90 days
• Forms should be submitted by parents/guardians
• Coverage is secondary — your primary insurance must be used first
• The form is available online at hockeyalberta.ca
• All injuries should be reported, even if you’re not making a financial claim
