im 18 and will be playing for seniors (roller) next season, does this allow me to wear a half visor or do you have to be 21 ? one of the lads at hockey was also saying that the age for wearing a half visor will be up for review soon anyone know or heard anything ?

What league? i play in BIPHA and its 18 for visor, 21 for nothing.

Im sure if Clark12 sees this, he'll know

You are correct Ed! In BIPHA sanctioned leagues players of the age of 18 may remove thier face cage and replace it with a half visor. Once you are over 21 you can choose not to wear any facial protection at all

Pretty sure GBHI runs by the same face protection rules. The Northern Irish league was run by GBHI up until this season when we changed to BIPHA and I've worn a half visor in it since I was 18.

GBHI doesn't care about half visors or no visor. I wore no visor towards the end of the season and they said nothing. BIPHA is 18.

As the guys already said, you'll be fine wearing a visor in GBHI

even though im 18 playin up to seniors ? because most of the lads have said you have to be first year 21s ?

I was wearing a half visor in GBHI at 18 playing seniors so you should be fine. Take your cage with you just incase but i doubt your gonna have a problem
