A University of Buffalo study has been published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The 5 year study focused on the underlining cause of injuries in minor hockey.

The findings showed that 66% of injuries were caused by accidents while only one third was a result of bodychecking.

The study looked at 3,000 boys aged four to 18 in a youth hockey program in Burlington, Ontario.
