Do you think there should be an EMT or Trainer at the AAA tourneys in the summer? This weekend we had a player break their arm in 2 places and no where in the facility was an EMT or Trainer. I would think that at ALL tourneys including summer ones there should be someone there to helpout with injured players.
What is your opinion?

Minnesota Hockey (Association Winter Tourneys) require an EMT in the building.
AAA Tourney organizers should follow the same rule without a doubt. Maybe even 1 EMT for every two sheets of ice if you're talking about facilities with more than 2 sheets.

In today's day and age one would think it to be irresponsible in protecting the assets of an organization to not provide medical attention much less the participants. They are setting themselves up for potential disappointment if it is felt that a waiver shields liability.

Which Tournament? I've seen an EMT at all of the Tournaments my son's have played in... Just curious.
