Travel Medical for Hockey Players FAQs














Do Not Let a Hockey Injury Put the Entire Season at Risk

Medical care in the United States can be expensive, and many domestic or government health programs provide limited protection outside a player’s home country or province. ICI Traveler can help players, parents, coaches, advisors, billet families, and hockey organizations understand the available options and select coverage for an upcoming season, tournament, camp, tryout, or extended stay.
