Ice hockey is a fast-paced team sport played on ice, using sticks to control and shoot a puck into the opposing goal. The game involves speed, physical contact and rapid changes of direction. When taking part abroad, ice hockey is usually played on an amateur basis, whether during organised training sessions or structured non-professional matches.
ActivitySure travel insurance can cover amateur ice hockey overseas when played with full body protection, provided participation meets the policy conditions. Although the sport takes place in controlled rink environments, the combination of hard surfaces, high speed and contact between players means injuries can still occur, making appropriate travel insurance an important part of your plans.

Destination Insight
Where is popular for ice hockey?
Ice hockey is especially popular in Canada, where it forms a central part of national sporting culture and local rinks are widely available to visitors. Many travellers take part in recreational games or organised training sessions while abroad.
Across Europe, countries such as Sweden, Finland and the Czech Republic have strong ice hockey traditions, with indoor arenas supporting both community-level play and organised amateur competition. Ice hockey is also commonly found in alpine regions where winter sports infrastructure is well established.
Here's why ice hockey travel insurance matters:
Ice hockey is a high-contact sport played on hard ice surfaces, which increases the risk of falls, collisions and impact injuries. Medical treatment abroad can be costly, and injuries may disrupt the rest of your trip. Travel insurance helps provide financial protection if you require medical assistance or need to return home early.
With ActivitySure travel insurance, cover may include:
Helpful travel tips
- Follow organiser instructions, match rules and guidance from referees at all times.
- Stay alert to other players to reduce the risk of unexpected collisions.
- Avoid overcrowded rinks or informal sessions where safety rules may not be enforced.
- Take breaks when needed and avoid playing while fatigued or injured.
- Always wear appropriate safety equipment, including full body protection and a helmet, as required by organisers.
Frequently asked questions
You can, as long as you’ve added Winter Sports cover to your ActivitySure policy. Ice hockey isn’t usually included as standard, so it needs to be factored in before you travel.
Yes. You are only covered to play ice hockey if you are wearing full body protection. Doing so without can affect how your cover applies if something goes wrong.
If you’re hurt while playing, cover includes emergency medical treatment and support while you’re abroad. That applies to typical match situations like collisions, falls, or contact during play.
Both can be covered, whether you’re joining a friendly game or something more organised. The key thing is that you’re wearing full body protection, and it’s amateur play, not professional competition.
