This longitudinal observational study was conducted to investigate and document all injuries sustained by players of a Japanese male professional ice hockey team during official games and practice sessions over 10 seasons (2010–2011 to 2019–2020).

The official games included the Asia League regular season and playoff games. In recent years, one Russian, three Korean and four Japanese teams have participated in the Asia League. Each team played 30–48 games during the regular season and 2–12 games during playoffs from September to March. The training camp started in June and included drills on ice and in the field, weight training and preseason games (range: 4–6 games). During the season, two games were regularly played on weekends, and on/off-ice practice sessions were conducted 3–4 times weekly.
