Plus one for the core shorts. Make sure to get the pro ones that were mentioned.

I have had a bad groin for about 6 or 7 years that finally gave way last year and required surgery. I have worn the core shorts for the last 3 years and they made a huge difference. Before them i always seemed to struggle for a few days after hockey. with them I had no issues.

Stretching is also very big and should be done regardless of an injury. I found my hip started to give me problems the worse the groin got and focus a lot attention on the outside part of the hip and the hip flexor.

Rest might be the best solution for now. Give it time to get the swelling down and heal. Lots of ice and heat.
