.opnThis case involves a professional hockey player, Jamie Huscroft, who claims to have sustained a cumulative industrial injury while employed by several teams from 1988 to 2000. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) found that the State of California had subject matter jurisdiction over the injury and claim under sections 3600.5(a) and 5305, as Huscroft accepted employment as a professional hockey player in California and worked in this state during the cumulative trauma period. The case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings and decisions regarding Huscroft’s claim.
