Injuries occurred predominantly among males (93.5%). More than half of the injured were aged 9 to 14\u00a0years (28.9%) or 15 to 18\u00a0years (30.1%), and injury incidence in these age groups increased over the study period (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> \u200a=\u200a .009 and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001, respectively). The most commonly injured body sites were the face (19.1%), wrist\/hand\/finger (14.1%), shoulder\/upper arm (13.8%), and lower leg\/ankle\/foot (11.1%). Lacerations (27.0%), contusions\/abrasions (23.6%), fractures (17.3%), and sprains\/strains (16.9%) were the most common injuries. Falls (16.5%), contact with boards (13.6%), and contact with stick (13.0%) were the most common injury mechanisms. Compared with those aged 9 to 18\u00a0years, those aged 2 to 8\u00a0years and those older than 18\u00a0years sustained larger proportions of face (injury proportion ratio [IPR] \u200a=\u200a 2.66; 95% confidence interval [CI] \u200a=\u200a 2.29, 3.08) and mouth (IPR \u200a=\u200a 4.34; 95% CI \u200a=\u200a 2.87, 6.56) injuries. Concussions were more common among those aged 2 to 18\u00a0years (9.0%) than in those who were older than 18\u00a0years (3.7%) (IPR \u200a=\u200a 2.47; 95% CI \u200a=\u200a 1.75, 3.49).<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>Ice hockey injury patterns vary by age and sex.
