Things You Need To Know Before Buying:
Have the measurement of the circumference around the head (just above the eyebrows) ready. This will help us determine what size helmet you need.
Every helmet must be CSA / HECC approved.
Helmets are the most important piece of protective ice hockey equipment you will purchase.
To maximize your protection, adjust your helmet to ensure a snug fit. A properly fit helmet should have very little room for movement but still provide comfort. The chinstrap should be adjusted so that it gently makes contact under your chin when fastened. A poorly fit helmet could result in injury.
It's a good idea to do a regular inspection of your helmet and facemask to make sure that your screws and hardware are secure.
If your helmet is cracked or damaged in any way you should replace it immediately to avoid any chance of injury. Most manufactures recommend helmets should be replaced every two to three years.
We recommend that some form of facial protection be worn as well as an internal mouth guard.
