dc.description.abstractObjective: To investigate the effect of previous concussion on sport-specific skill performance in youth ice hockey players. Methods: In total, 596 participants [525 males and 71 females, ages 11-17, representing elite (upper 30% by division of play) and non-elite (lower 70% by division of play)] were recruited from minor ice hockey teams in Calgary, Alberta over three seasons of play (2012-2015). Primary Outcome Measure: On-ice skill performance was based on the Hockey Canada Skills Test (HCST) battery which included forward agility weave, forward and backward speed skate, forward to backward transition agility, and a 6-repeat endurance skate. Results: There were no significant differences in the adjusted odds ratios or the mean scores between those with and without a history of concussion for all HCST components. Conclusions: Youth ice hockey players with a history of concussion have similar HCST performance scores to those that do not.en_US
