Blog: Fitting Helmets Properly

Youthhockeyreview.com has a fantastic post on fitting hockey helmets on little hockey players, with the goal of maximizing the protection a helmet affords against concussions.  Rich Taylor also covers other ill fitting equipment he typically finds on youth hockey players out on the ice.  Visit the blog for more on Rich's four points:

  1. A snug fit without any pressure points
  2. The right sized cage or facemask
  3. No slack in the chinstrap
  4. Mouth guards are not just for teeth
