If you haven’t heard of the horrible tragedy that recently unfolded to poor Teddy Balkind on the ice playing a hockey game you can research it. May he rest in peace. The entire community has their sticks out for him. There will for sure be changes coming. But just wearing a neck gaurd isn’t enough. I will be posting two posts for hockey players and parents for you to review.

Here is a link to an article that is based on a survey regarding neck guards. Just providing information.

Conclusion: Based on this survey, the currently available neck laceration protectors do not eliminate the risk of a neck laceration from a skate blade.

CONCLUSIONS

A custom-made laceration machine using a hockey skate blade and a neck surrogate was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of commercially available neck guards. Skate Armor neck guards had highest cut resistance, and the Bauer N7 Nectech had the lowest cut resistance. The neck guards that used Spectra Guard or 2 layers of Kevlar were found to be the most cut resistant. A skate blade angle of 45 degrees increased the likelihood of a neck laceration compared with a skate blade angle of 90 degrees due to decreased contact area. Damage to the neck guard is not an indicator of the cut resistance of a neck guard.
