An article in the Montreal Gazette reports that a study conducted by researchers at UB has shown that accidents are more commonly to blame for on-ice amateur-hockey injuries than bodychecking. The article quotes Barry Willer, professor of psychiatry and rehabilitation studies and senior author of the study. The article appeared newspapers throughout Canada, including the Ottawa Citizen and Vancouver Sun. The Buffalo News also reported on the research.
