Neck Laceration Guard and Mouth Guard rules

Neck laceration guards

--USA Hockey has issued a new rule that takes effect August 1, 2024. All players (including goalies), regardless of age, must wear a neck laceration guard at all practices and games.

--Neck guards can be in the form of a strap that velcros around the neck or a base layer shirt that has an attached neck guard.

--Here is a link to USA Hockey's website for FAQs regarding neck laceration guards:

Mouth guards

--Mouth guards are required for all players in the 12U (PeeWee) and 14U (Bantam) age groups. Players in the 10U (Squirt) age group are not required to wear mouth guards.

--Mouth guards need to be colored, not clear.

As a reminder, both of these equipment rules can result in an in-game penalty if they are not followed.

Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you!
