Hockey Canada Accident Insurance Benefits Do Not Cover

• Benefits eligible for payment by an employee’s private medical and/or dental plan. The plan acts as second payer in all cases and can be used for deductibles/coinsurance not paid by the first payer.
• Any benefits provided or paid by any government hospital or medical plans, whether or not the injured person is included in such plan. There are no payments for any non-resident who plays hockey in Canada without some form of primary coverage.
• The purchase, repair or replacement of eyeglasses or contact lenses, or prescriptions thereof.
• Sickness or disease either as a cause or effect.
•  Injury resulting from war or any act of war, whether declared or undeclared.
• Air travel, except as a fare-paying passenger in an aircraft with a certificate of air worthiness to/from a Hockey Canada sanctioned activity.
• Expenses of dental treatment incurred for the cost of replacement or repair of artificial teeth or dentures, permanent bridgework excepted.
• The expenses of a knee brace or similar device, the use of which is solely to allow an insured person to participate in a game or practice.
• Any expenses not submitted within 365 days of the date of the accident.
• Any accident report forms not submitted within 90 days of the accident.

Important Notes

* If travelling outside of Canada for a sanctioned hockey related activity the Hockey Canada accident/dental coverage is considered secondary.  Participants MUST purchase appropriate out of country medical coverage to act as their primary insurer in the country they are visiting.

* If travelling to a different Province to play participants should check with their Provincial/Territorial Health Care provider to confirm coverages in the
Province/Territory being visited.

Players from outside of Canada coming into Canada to play on a Hockey Canada sanctioned team must purchase primary medical coverage for the time they will be residing here. The Hockey Canada accident/dental coverage acts as a secondary provider only.

This insurance coverage is part of a Trust Agreement.
