Equipment Fitting (Goalies) - Mask
Mar 16, 2026
The goalie mask is the most important piece of equipment for a goaltender. Learn how to ensure proper fit, check for CSA certification, and add extra protection like a throat dangler. Key Points: Most Important Protection: The goalie mask protects the head and face and is one of the most critical pieces of safety equipment. Certification Matters: Always check for the CSA certification sticker on both the mask and the cage to ensure it meets safety standards. Proper Fit: The mask should fit snugly on the head and stay securely in place without wobbling when the goalie moves. Throat Protection: A dangler is recommended to protect the throat and may be mandatory depending on provincial regulations. Dangler Fit: Make sure the dangler fully covers the throat when the goalie moves their head up, down, and side to side. Inclusion and Respect: Hockey Canada encourages organizations to work collaboratively with families regarding Dāstars, Kirpans, and other cultural or religious observances to ensure both safety and inclusion.
