Beginning August 1st, all players playing in amateur or younger USA Hockey sanctioned leagues will not be eligible to play unless wearing skate laceration protection. There have been similar rule changes in other leagues that are not sanctioned by USA Hockey, like high school hockey in Minnesota, that will also be requiring neck guards. Make sure you are prepared and eligible to play this season with a neck guard. #hockey #hockeyplayer #hockeyplayers #usahockey
