WAIVER FOR ADULT PARTICIPANTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE that there is potential risk for injury involved in the training and participation of any physical activity. I further understand and agree that participating in hockey is a potentially dangerous activity. Bumps, bruises, scrapes, scratches and soreness are commonplace, and most participants will encounter this sort of minor injury from time to time. More serious injuries are possible, including sprains, strains, twists, cramps, and injuries of similar magnitude. The possibility of more serious injury exists, including fractured bones, broken bones, torn ligaments, though most participants do not encounter such serious injuries. There remains, despite safety precautions, the remote possibility of crippling or death. I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE all such risks, dangers and hazards, resulting from my participation in any event hosted or sponsored by CARHA Hockey or The Whistler Sportsmans Hockey Association..

I am also aware that I should discuss my participation in this activity with my physician to determine the effect on my current health.

It is my right and responsibility as a participant to immediately remove myself from participation in the program and notify the nearest official, if at any time I sense any unusual hazard or unsafe condition or if I feel that I am physically, emotionally, or mentally unfit for continued participation in the program.

I have read and understand the above statement of risk. I assume responsibility for my own safety, and I understand and accept the risks involved with my participation.
