Standard Specification for Head and Face Protective Equipment for Ice Hockey Goaltenders
ABSTRACT
This document covers specifications and conformity assessment methods for new head and face protectors for ice hockey goaltenders, as offered for initial sale. This specification is intended to reduce the risk of injury associated with playing the position of goaltender in ice hockey. The protectors are classified according to types: Type I and Type II. Optical tests, shock attenuation tests, puck impact tests, penetration resistance tests, and neck strap retention test shall be performed to meet the requirements specified.
SCOPE
1.1 This performance specification covers performance requirements for ice hockey goaltender head and face protectors.
1.2 The intent of this performance specification is to reduce the risk of injury to the head and face of ice hockey goaltenders without compromising the form and appeal of the game.
1.3 This specification has requirements for: (1) materials, assembly, and design; (2) protected areas (coverage) and penetration resistance; (3) shock absorption; (4) puck impact resistance; (5) extensibility and strength of the chin strap and its attachment; and (6) optical quality.
1.4 Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

INTRODUCTION
Ice hockey is a contact sport with intrinsic hazards. The use of protective equipment will not
eliminate all injuries but should substantially reduce the severity and frequency of many injuries.
Participation in the sport of ice hockey by a player implies acceptance of some risk of injury.The goal
is to reduce the risk.
This performance specification for ice hockey goaltender head and face protective equipment has
been prepared after consideration of head and face protection relative to the following principle risks:
high-mass/low-velocityimpactwithrespecttoheadprotection,low-mass/high-velocitywithrespectto
face protection (various playing situations), and fit. This performance specification may be modified
as other risks are identified.
Performance requirements were determined after consideration of the state of the art of head and
face protective design and manufacture. This specification was developed to address the unique
demands and hazards associated with the position of ice hockey goaltender.
Two types of protectors are designated. Both types are subject to impact resistance and shock
attenuation requirements. Type I protectors are subject to hockey stick blade penetration resistance
requirements over their entire area of coverage. Type II protectors are subject to hockey puck
penetration resistance requirements within the area of the field of vision and hockey stick blade
penetrationresistancerequirementsovertheremainderoftheareaofcoverage.Itisrecommendedthat
Type II protectors be used only by players 18 years of age and older.

INTRODUCTION
Ice hockey is a contact sport with intrinsic hazards. Participation in this sport implies acceptance of
some risk of injury. The purpose of protective equipment is to reduce this risk. The use of protective
equipment will not eliminate all injuries, but should substantially reduce the severity and frequency
of injury.
This specification was developed to address the unique demands and hazards associated with the
position of goaltender in ice hockey. Two types of protectors are designated. Both types are subject
to impact resistance and shock attenuation requirements. Type I protectors are subject to hockey stick
blade penetration resistance requirements over their entire area of coverage. Type II protectors are
subject to hockey puck penetration resistance requirements within the area of the field of vision, and
hockey stick blade penetration resistance requirements over the remainder of the area of coverage. It
is recommended that Type II protectors be used only by players 18 years of age and older.
This specification is intended to be used with other standards, listed in Section 2, which contain
details of required test procedures.
