Knowledge about physiological responses and sufficient recovery times after matches are needed in professional team sports to avoid illnesses, injuries and overtraining. In many team sports (e.g. soccer, rugby, handball and basketball), such knowledge has been attained, however, in ice hockey research in this area is lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the physiological responses and their associations to external load in official Finnish elite league ice hockey match. Methods. The study subjects were 38 Finnish elite league ice hockey players. The study was done in single group repeated measures design, where measurements were done before, during, immediately and 12 hours after the match. Ice hockey match does not seem to impair neuromuscular performance, but other markers indicate that the players are not fully recovered 12 hours after the match. External load is poorly associated with physiological responses to ice hockey match. Hence, more research is needed to better understand the individual responses to ice hockey matches.
