Neck Lacerations

As a reminder, neck laceration protection is mandatory for all players in USA Hockey's youth, girls, and junior classifications. This requirement is non-negotiable and should be familiar to everyone involved in the game. Officials under the age of 18 are also required to wear neck laceration protection while on the ice.
