QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER PLAINTIFF, A YOUTH HOCKEY PLAYER INJURED BY A TIPPING BENCH IN THE LOCKER ROOM, WAS IN THE CUSTODY OF THE COACH OR HIS FATHER IN THIS NEGLIGENT SUPERVISION ACTION (THIRD DEPT). ​

The Third Department determined there was a question of fact whether plaintiff, a youth hockey player (Beninati), was in the custody and control of the coach or plaintiff’s father at the time he was injured falling off a tipping bench in the locker room:

Where a child participates in an athletic activity, such as the youth hockey program involved here, we recognize that the team and its coach owe a duty of care to adequately supervise the child while participating in the event … . That custodial duty, however, ceases once the child is returned to the care and control of his or her parent … . “A plaintiff claiming negligent supervision must demonstrate both that the defendant breached its duty to provide adequate supervision [as would a reasonably prudent parent placed in comparable circumstances], and that this failure was the proximate cause of the plaintiff’s injuries”… .

The pivotal question presented is whether Beninati was in the custody of his father or the coach at the time that he was injured. Beninati v City of Troy, 2018 NY Slip Op 05254, Third Dept 7-12-18
