What's the cost of minor hockey injuries? An accountant could have a field day assigning costs and tallying the columns.
I can offer an example of a minor injury. Heaven knows the cost of repair and recovery for something major such as a concussion.
Emergency dental appointment: $30; dental repair: $170. Plus the pain and time involved. Plus the missing of games and practices - we're paying $20 a game for this recreation. It isn't the NHL. Or even the OHL.
We all sign on and agree to the risky recreation of minor hockey. Hurt happens. It's when the injuries are the result of malice and willful rule-breaking by another participant that we have a problem.
