I think it would be easy enough to print the information on a business card size piece of paper, and have it laminated. Then you could carry it in your pocket during a game.

Your name
Emergency contact name and phone
medical alerts if any or none
prescription drugs being taken

We had an official transported to the hospital at halftime a couple years ago. He was in a lot of pain and had trouble breathing and making certain movements. It turned out to be a torn abdominal muscle.

The problem we had was logistical. We arrived onsite in 2 vehicles, one was his. The keys were in the lockerroom, but we had no idea what to do with the car. We ended up calling his wife on his cell phone, which was with his keys. We dropped the car at a location she could easily get to to pick it up, and left the keys locked inside. Then the real problem was he was supposed to buy the first round and he wasn't there to do so. All turned out well though. My advice is be prepared.
