Athletic Injuries 205 is a focused chiropractic sports medicine course on the injury patterns hockey produces — the AC joint separated into the boards, the cervical spine loaded by a body check, the hip and groin driven by the skating stride, and the knee and ankle trauma of blades, pucks, and collisions. Dr. Donald Ozello moves from the common acute and overuse injuries of hockey athletes and the mechanisms behind them — skating, shooting, and contact — through evaluation and diagnosis of shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle conditions, to chiropractic extremity and spinal treatment options, prevention strategies, and the return-to-sport planning a collision sport demands.
Hockey combines the repetitive-motion load of an endurance sport with the impact profile of a collision sport, and its players — youth travel teams, beer leagues, masters skaters — bring the shoulder, the hip flexor, and the "just got boarded" spine to the chiropractor they already see. This 2-hour online course is built for the doctor providing sports or team coverage and for the practice that treats skaters at any level, with evaluation and treatment protocols that apply the next morning. Every completion generates an instant certificate for your renewal file.

Your Sports Medicine Faculty
Donald Ozello, DC, CCN, CCSM — instructor of this course — authors the sport-specific core of the series, nine courses spanning basketball through racquet sports, as a certified sports-medicine chiropractor who also leads the Adjusting & Manual Therapy curriculum. A 1995 graduate of the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, Navy veteran, and founder of Championship Chiropractic in Las Vegas, Dr. Ozello is certified in sports medicine and clinical nutrition and serves as faculty for CCEDseminars and Texas Chiropractic College. His courses read the sport first: the movement demands, the loading patterns, and the injuries they predict.
Dennis O'Hara, DC, DACBSP brings the sports specialty's board credential — Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Practitioners — to the highest-stakes coursework: emergency procedures for the sideline physician (203) and athletic injuries of the shoulder (206).
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN examines football's turf toe (208) with a chiropractic neurologist's precision, and Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — board-certified in clinical nutrition — teaches dehydration and heat illness (213) where physiology and field safety meet.

Where Athletic Injury Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Athletic injury coursework is clinical subject matter — assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation — which is exactly what several state boards ask for. In Iowa, these hours feed the 36-hour clinical case-management minimum; in Rhode Island, they serve the 50-of-60 clinical requirement; and in Vermont — where practice-building coursework earns no credit at all — patient-care education like this counts fully under the clinical-focus rule.
Online-format allowances still vary by state — some accept every hour online, others cap distance learning or require in-person blocks. Check your state's guide in the full state directory before building your renewal plan.
Build Your Sports CE Block
Every course in the series is 2 hours at $40, so the automatic discounts do the bundling for you: any three courses (6 hours) earns 10% off, and five or more (10+ hours) in a single order earns 20% off — the complete 26-hour series lands at roughly $416 instead of $520, with no promo codes. The natural pairings for this course are the collision and contact patterns hockey shares — 203 Emergency Procedures for the Sideline Physician for the doctor at the rink when the hit happens, 206 Athletic Injuries of the Shoulder for the checked and separated shoulder, and 208 Football Injuries for the other collision sport on the roster.
