Neck Laceration Protection Now Required

Effective August 1, 2024, USA Hockey is requiring neck laceration protection for players in all age classifications, other than adults, in games and practices, as well as for on-ice officials under the age of 18.

Please do not delay in acquiring a neck guard for your skater.  Players will not be allowed to take the ice without the proper protective equipment in place.  Stand-alone neckguards and those built into base layer shirts are available.

For more information, please see this post & video from USA Hockey.
