It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in sufficient physical condition to participate in the Event without risk to your health or your life. We do not conduct health or fitness checks on entrants.
Some Events may pose certain risks to participants and observers. We cannot remove risks to participants and observers and, accordingly, you participate and/or observe at your own risk.
Where you have registered or entered on behalf of anyone under the age of 18 or have accompanied anyone under the age of 18 to observe the Event, you also agree to the contents of this Agreement and Waiver on behalf of the person under 18.

In addition, if, despite this Agreement and Waiver, any of the Registered Parties makes a claim against The Hockey Development Centre, you agree, immediately upon request or demand by The Hockey Development Centre, to defend, indemnify, and hold The Hockey Development Centre harmless from all Liabilities which may be incurred as the result of such claim.
