VISITING TEAM INFORMATION
A certified athletic trainer (ATC) is available at all home contests against Rivier University two hours prior to the start of game time and 30 minutes after the conclusion of the contest. Men's and women's ice hockey games will have a physician or physician assistant present during all competitions.
Please call or email in advance if your team will be traveling without an ATC with specific instructions and any necessary supplies. We will be happy to assist with pre-game taping, as long as a stocked medical kit is provided; treatment will be limited to heat and ice. If an ATC is traveling with the team, they will be able to use modalities such as hydrocollator packs, ultrasound, and electric stimulation. During home contests, water will be provided in the bench area. Ice, an AED, and a splint kit are available if needed. Crutches will be loaned to injured visiting student-athletes on an as-needed basis.
