Certification

Goalie neck guards must meet cut-resistance standards. In most leagues a certified neck guard is mandatory – check your league rules before purchasing.

Goalie vs Player

Goalie neck guards offer more coverage than player versions, typically extending lower to protect the collarbone and upper chest from deflected pucks and stick contact.

Integrated vs Standalone

Some neck guards attach to the mask or chest protector. Standalone guards are worn around the neck independently. Both styles offer certified protection when correctly fitted.
