🏒 CAGE HANG — LET'S GET IT RIGHT! 🏒
As we head into the 2026–2027 season, proper helmet and cage fit will be a major equipment-safety focus.
Parents & players — please take a few seconds to check your helmet before every ice time!
🚨 Remember:
• The cage must sit INSIDE the J-clips — not on top or outside them.
• The chin cup should sit snugly against the chin — not dangling below the jaw.
• All straps, snaps and hardware must be properly adjusted, fastened and functional.
• No tape or modified straps to hold equipment in place.
Officials will be enforcing Hockey Canada Rule 3.6 – Protective Equipment.
Players with improperly fitted or non-compliant equipment may be required to leave the ice immediately to correct the issue. Failure to correct the problem can result in a 2-minute minor penalty for illegal equipment, with additional penalties possible for persistent refusal to comply.
👀 Parents — check the cage before they hit the ice!
A proper fit isn't just about avoiding a penalty — it's about protecting our players.
Check it. Adjust it. Secure it. Then hit the ice! 🏒
