If you play hockey, you know the importance of protecting your knees. Whether you play field or ice hockey it is crucial that you use some type of protection.

Without protection you may sprain or strain your knee. A sprain or strain means that you have damaged the muscles or ligaments in your knee. You may have stretched or torn these tissues.

The most common ligament injury is an ACL injury. When you have an injury your knee may feel unstable. You may feel like it is going to "give out" from underneath you.

Walking or running may be difficult. These types of injuries can cause your knee to swell and be very painful. Fractures, dislocations, and cartilage damage are other common types of injuries.
