Neck Laceration Protection Effective: Aug. 1st, 2024
Neck Guards
In January 2024, The USA Hockey Congress approved legislation requiring the use of neck laceration protection for players in all age classifications, other than adults, in games and practices, as well as for on-ice officials under the age of 18, effective August 1, 2024. For clarity, the requirement includes players in the youth, girls and junior age classifications.
DYH will adhere to this policy. Parents, please ensure your player has a neck guard on at all times while participating in our programming.
