SportSmart Canada maintains a registry of spinal injuries in hockey and has documented 214 cases of fracture or dislocation of the spine, occurring mainly in North America since 1966. The current annual incidence is approximately 15 cases per year and may be declining as a result of intense prevention programs. Most of the injuries have been to the cervical spine in players 16 to 20 years of age playing supervised games. Checking from behind causing impact of the head against boards has been an important cause of injury, especially for those injuries resulting in neurological deficit.
加拿大运动智能组织保存了一份曲棍球运动中脊柱损伤的登记记录，自1966年以来已记录了214例脊柱骨折或脱位病例，这些病例主要发生在北美地区。目前的年发病率约为每年15例，由于强化预防计划，发病率可能正在下降。大多数损伤发生在16至20岁参加有监督比赛的球员的颈椎。从背后撞击导致头部撞到护板是一个重要的致伤原因，尤其是对于那些导致神经功能缺损的损伤。
