Buyer's Guide: Safety First
A helmet is the most important piece of equipment in your bag. Here is how to make sure it's safe.
1. The "Shake Test" (Fit)
Most modern helmets (Bauer Re-Akt, CCM Tacks) have tool-free adjustment. Open the flaps, put the helmet on, and close the flaps until it is snug. Shake your head side-to-side. If the helmet moves independently of your head, it is too loose.
2. Expiration Dates
Did you know hockey helmets expire? Look for the HECC sticker on the back. It will have an expiration date (usually 6.5 years from manufacture). If your helmet is expired, it is illegal for play in USA Hockey and the plastic may be brittle.
3. Combo vs. Helmet Only
Combo: Includes the face cage. Mandatory for all youth players (under 18). This is the best value.
Helmet Only: Allows you to attach a visor (half-shield) or a different brand of cage. Popular with adult league players.
