When Chosing a Proper Fit
for a Hockey Helmet
Consider the Following:
Look for helmets certified by CSA
(Canadian Standards Association)
or HECC (Hockey Equipment Certification Council).
Your helmet should fit comfortably snug at the forehead, top, back and sides of your head.
The helmet should not shift or wobble on your head - this will reduce protection and comfort and also be distracting during play.
Adjusted the chin strap so that it gently contacts your chin with your mouth closed.
The helmet should fit flat and snug on the head above the eyebrows without tilting forward or back.
If the helmet is loose or not properly fastened, it loses its' protective qualities.
