Summary

Technology has surpassed the requirements of hockey headgear standards in use today; however, very few helmets have improved in design/performance. The CSA and ASTM hockey headgear standards are two of the least demanding standards in use and should be updated to account for new materials, a variety of hazards, and use conditions. The design of the helmet should also be investigated to reduce the amount of rotational and possibly cervical injuries. This paper will demonstrate where the current standards need updating and will present theories on how to reduce some of the injuries that plague the sport today.
