SUJET/SUBJECT:
Sécurité du gardien (Protège-cou et protège gorge) – Goaltenders Safety (neck guard and throat protector)
DATE/DATE:
Lundi 2 février 2015 – Monday February 2, 2015
Hello, First, it’s important to specify that Bauer Company is the official supplier regarding the goaltender neck guard. For the throat protector, the goaltender will have the choice between Bauer and Reebok/CCM, because they both have signed agreements with the CHL. The Bauer Company has more than one model of neck guard and throat protector, as Reebok/CCM for the throat protector. All the goaltenders from the QMJHL must wear, from next season, a goaltender neck guard and a throat protector added to the mask for the practices, the warm-ups and the games. Here is an example of the pieces of equipment that will be effective next season:
Reebok
Next season, all goaltender that won’t wear these pieces of equipment won’t be allowed by the League. During its random inspections next season (practice or game), the League will confiscate any modified neck guard. Also, any goaltender that won’t wear the throat protector during his game, will be replaced by the substitute goaltender. The goaltender, out of the game, can come back as soon as he’ll wear the throat protector to his mask. Also, the League will impose a fine of $500 to the organization, when the neck guard will be modified and/or when the goaltender was replaced during a game for a missing piece of equipment. This new directive aims to protect the well-being of our goaltender and prevent any incident or injury that could be damaging to the concerned goaltender. I invite you to communicate with me if you need additional information.
Thank you for your collaboration.
