NHL Players News

The NHL has a rule called the “Rule of Intent to Injure” which shows that players are not allowed to use their body or hockey stick to intentionally injure an opponent’s team player. This rule is in place to encourage a safe and fair game, and players who break this rule it can face penalties and disciplinary actions. 

 The NHL (National Hockey League) does not disclose injuries to protect the privacy of its players and to avoid giving an unfair advantage to opposing teams. By not disclosing injuries, the league aims to encourage a level playing field and to keep the focus on the game Instead of the health of individual players. 

The most common injuries in the NHL differ from season to season, but some of the common injuries seen in hockey include concussions, shoulder injuries (such as AC separations and broken clavicles), knee injuries (such as ACL tears), and dental or eye injuries. It’s significant to note that the nature and frequency of injuries can vary every year. 

In the National Hockey League(NHL), the designation “IR” means “Injured Reserve”, while the term “out” indicates that a player is not able to play because of injury or illness. Players placed on “IR” are not able to return to active play for at least 7 days, while those listed as “out” are not available for a particular game but may fail to meet the criteria for “IR”.
