To examine if chronological age within Canadian youth ice hockey's 2-year age bands influences the proportion of injury.
Retrospective secondary data analyses.
Information on 4736 injured youth ice hockey players (10-15 years old) reported by the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting Prevention Program (CHIRPP) and 4959 (12-15 years old) injured players reported by the Hockey Canada Insurance Database (HCID).
Proportions of injuries according to constituent year (first vs second year of participation within 2-year youth ice hockey age bands).
The influence of age band (Atom, 10/11; Peewee, 12/13; Bantam, 14/15) and level of competitive play on constituent year injury proportions were examined.
Injured Atom and Peewee players (CHIRPP) were more likely to be in constituent year 2 (Atom: odds ratio [OR], 1.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46-2.03; Peewee: OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.10-1.42). Injured players (HCID) at the highest tiers of competitive play were more likely to be in constituent year 2 (eg, Peewee: OR, 2.91; 95% CI, 1.92-4.41; Bantam: 1.89; 95% CI, 1.46-2.46).
Constituent year may be a factor in determining injury risk and may be relevant to those managing the risk of injury for youth ice hockey players.
研究加拿大青年冰球的 2 岁年龄组内的实际年龄是否会影响受伤比例。
回顾性二次数据分析。
加拿大医院伤害报告预防计划（CHIRPP）报告的 4736 名受伤青年冰球运动员（10-15 岁）和加拿大曲棍球保险数据库（HCID）报告的 4959 名（12-15 岁）受伤运动员的信息。
根据组成年份（2 岁青年冰球年龄组内的第一年与第二年的参与比例）的受伤比例。
年龄组（Atom，10/11 岁；Peewee，12/13 岁；Bantam，14/15 岁）和比赛竞争水平对组成年份受伤比例的影响。
受伤的 Atom 和 Peewee 球员（CHIRPP）更有可能处于组成年份的第二年（Atom：优势比 [OR]，1.72；95%置信区间 [CI]，1.46-2.03；Peewee：OR，1.25；95% CI，1.10-1.42）。最高竞争水平的受伤运动员（HCID）更有可能处于组成年份的第二年（例如，Peewee：OR，2.91；95% CI，1.92-4.41；Bantam：1.89；95% CI，1.46-2.46）。
组成年份可能是确定受伤风险的一个因素，对于管理青年冰球运动员受伤风险可能相关。
