Travel Medical Insurance for Hockey Players
Travel medical coverage options for eligible non-professional hockey players traveling outside their home country to participate in tournaments, camps, tryouts, training, school, or an extended hockey season. Whether you are a Canadian player traveling to the United States or an international player joining a U.S. hockey program, ICI Traveler can help you select coverage designed for your situation.

Not Every Travel Medical Plan Covers Hockey Injuries
Hockey participation is frequently excluded under standard travel medical insurance unless the appropriate sports coverage is included. The plans below have been selected specifically because they can provide coverage for eligible non-professional hockey participation, subject to each plan’s terms, limitations, and exclusions.

Eligible Canadian residents age 29 or younger should generally review the Manulife Global Youth Emergency Medical plan first. The player must remain covered by a Canadian provincial or territorial government health insurance plan throughout the trip.
Eligible non-U.S. residents traveling to the United States should generally review Diplomat America with the appropriate Athletic Sports Rider. Coverage is not available to residents of certain countries, so eligibility should be confirmed before purchasing.
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.

Trip Coordinator | Living Water International
“We have had a relationship with Insurance Consultants for many years, as we’ve arranged TripArmor plans for each of our international short-term mission trips. Every person within the organization has been extremely helpful to us as we’ve asked questions, purchased the plans, and filed any claims. A few years ago, we had a significant issue during a trip that involved a highly respected person involved in our ministry. As we walked through shock and grief, Insurance Consultants not only walked through the claim with us but also cared deeply for us by checking in, praying, and following up for months after the claim was completed. We highly recommend Insurance Consultants for the insurance coverage they offer and even more for the care they offer to their clients. ”

Working with Alicia has been a joy- she’s always quick to respond, kind, and incredibly professional, which makes everything feel easy and taken care of. We’ve also really appreciated the coverage provided for each of our team members, especially at such a reasonable cost. It’s one more way we’ve seen God provide through the right people and partnerships at just the right time.”
