WAIVER OF LIABILITY

ASSUMPTION OF RISK – BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT YOU WILL WAIVE CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

I am aware that the participation in Kawartha Cup activities, events, and games has, in addition to the usual dangers and risks inherent in the sport of hockey, certain additional dangers and risks including, but not limited to, the danger and risk of collision with other participants and/or man made objects (sticks, pucks, boards, ice), and I freely accept and fully assume all such dangers and risks and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage or loss resulting therefrom.

In consideration of the arena and the Kawartha Cup Organizers (namely Jay Allen, Jeff Brossmann, Adam Ball or Luciano Cugini) permitting my participation in the aforementioned event/program/game I hereby agree as follows:

1. To waive any and all claims that I may have against the Arena, the Municipality, Municipality Staff, organizers of the Kawartha Cup, their spouses, children, successors and heirs, and any volunteers in any way associated with the event/program/game, (all of whom are hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Organizers”);
2. To release the Organizers from any and all liability for any loss, damage, injury or expense that I may suffer or that my next of kin may suffer as a result of my participation in the event/program/game due to any cause whatsoever, including any negligence,breach of contract, breach of statutory duty of care, or breach of the occupiers’ liability act on the part of the Organizers;
3. To hold harmless and indemnify the Organizers from any and all liability for any property damage or personal injury to any third party, resulting from my participation in the event/program/game; and
4. That this release of liability shall be effective and binding upon my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns in the event of my death.

In consideration of my participation in such programs, activities and events, I hereby acknowledge that I am aware of the risks and hazards associated with or related to ice hockey. The risks and hazards of ice hockey include, but are not limited to, injuries from:

• Exerting and stretching various muscle groups;
• Vigorous physical exertion, rapid movements and quick turns and stops on the ice;
• Strenuous cardiovascular workouts;
• Collisions with the rink boards, hockey nets and ice;
• Being struck by hockey sticks and pucks;
• Physical contact with other participants, resulting in injuries to the eyes, teeth, face, head and other parts of the body, bruises, sprains, cuts, scrapes, breaks, dislocations and spinal cord injuries which may render me permanently paralyzed;
• Variations in ice surface;
• Travel to and from competitive events and associated non-competitive events, which are an integral part of the Organizations activities.

Furthermore, I am aware that:

• Injuries sustained in ice hockey can be severe;
• I may experience anxiety while challenging myself during the activities;
• My risk of injury is reduced if I follow all rules; and
• My risk of injury increases if I drink alcohol before or during the game and also increase as I become fatigued.

I am of the full age of 18 years and I have read and understand this release of liability prior to acknowledging it through my registration. I acknowledge I am waiving certain legal rights which I or my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns may have against the releases.
