Injury lists

[CJ]

Can anyone explain why injuries are not listed?  Is it a privacy thing?  The recent loss of Kyle Penny as well as the loss of others on the team has significantly altered
the prospects of the season.  I am sure there must be others wondering what gives? What can we expect? Any explanation for missing players is usually vague at best. Looking for some insight to boost my knowledge. Thanks in advance.

Hockey is notoriously vague about injuries because if the other team knows what body part is injured, you'll get a bunch of sticks to that body part. In the NHL, it's "upper body injury" or "lower body injury." If anything, it's even less specific in college hockey because there aren't as many forces demanding information.

In comparison, football is a similarly physical game, but we get more specifics about injuries because media/fantasy football/gambling demand it.

With the pros, there are also collective bargaining considerations about what information can be released.  With college, I suspect it's privacy and HIPAA concerns.

pros release info for gambling reasons. college does not

College athlete injuries would be covered by at least HIPAA (which protects health records) and FERPA (which protects education records). When a player is out for the year, you probably get some disclosure but only with the consent of the student. Otherwise it would probably be as vague as "unlikely to return."

Will also note that sometimes you can "figure it out" in passing, like if you're in Ithaca and happen upon a hockey player in a walking boot. Or rewatch tape obsessively, or see it happen and figure from there. But no, you're not going to get any actual answers. For the better tbh.

welcome to the forum. every time someone reports seeing an athlete in a walking boot there are two pages of stupid debate over whether it is a HIPAA violation for a civilian to say they saw a thing in public.

It is not.

from the Hippa website

the role of coaches in personal development falls outside the scope of HIPAA compliance

Its only health care providers really.

How many rows up are you?  Must get some great audio as well.

as i understand it, to the extent coaches are covered by hipaa it would be because of their connection to the team/school medical staff. they can probably speak in generalities ("showing improvement" "back in the weight room" etc.) but they wouldn't be able to talk specifics learned through their professional association. "personal development" is generalities.

As ugarte noted earlier, I am pretty sure that, since these coaches are university employees, whatever isn't required by HIPPA is required by FERPA.

Me? I sit directly behind the tunnel, nine rows up in section C. Problem is my ears are shit and I can't always hear what's going on, especially when there are chants I can't make out. Have been privy to many a "FUCK" though

Why would ferpa be involved for education records in this?
