In Saskatchewan, in the Junior "A" league, if you have minor hockey eligibility left, (Under 18), you must use a cage and neck gaurd, until you are carded by the team. After that, 1/2 visors and mouthgaurds are all you need to have. I believe its the same for all Canadian Tier II junior leagues.And some of those smaller players could be as young as 15.
