In consideration of being permitted to participate, in any way, in the Omaha AAA Hockey Association, Inc. (OAHA), I, for myself, my heirs, personal representatives or assigns, so hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the OAHA, and their officers, employees, volunteers and agents from liability from any and all claims resulting in personal injury, accidents or illnesses (including death), and property loss arising from, but not limited to, participation in the OAHA activities.

Participation in the activities of OAHA is strictly voluntary and carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated, regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. The specific risks vary from one activity to another, but the risks range from 1) Minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains, to 2) Major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, heart attacks, and concussions, to 3) Catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death. I am aware that ice hockey is a vigorous sport involving violent physical contact and ruthless cardiovascular stress; specific hazards or risk involved in the OAHA activities include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Facial and dental trauma from contact with participants, equipment, or the facility.

- Cuts, slashes, or lacerations from sharp skates that could cause serious trauma to tendons, ligaments, or other areas tha may require surgery for repair.

- Risk of emotional and psychological injuries or damage.

- High risk of head and neck injuries which could result in partial or complete paralysis or brain damage; and/or

- Risk of death.

I am aware that training for and participating in the sport of ice hockey requires a certain level of fitness for safe participation and that the OAHA strongly recommends all participants have a physical examination to determine participation in ice hockey related activities.

I have read the previous paragraphs and I know, understand, and appreciate these and other risks that are inherent in the OAHA activities. I hereby assert that my participation is voluntary and that I have knowledge of the danger involved and all such risks of peroperty damage, personal injury, or death.

I also agree to INDEMNIFY and HOLD the OAHA, and their officers, employees, volunteers and agents HARMLESS from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities; including attorney's fees brought as a result from my involvement in the OAHA activities and to reimburse them for any such expenses incurred.

The undersigned further expressly agrees that the foregoing waiver and assumption of risks agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the law of the State of Nebraska, that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.

I authorize OAHA, and/or parties designated by the OAHA to use my or my child's photo for sale or reproduction in any manner OAHA desires, for advertising, display, audio-visual, exhibition, and/or editorial use.
