Skates, shoulder pads, and shin guards are important to me since they cover the most and are more likely to get hit while blocking shots. So is my helmet because of my experience with concussions. For my current helmet though I like to follow the Virginia Tech ratings system because "top of the line" isn't necessarily best. Even though their rating system is nonsense?

I'd rather trust science than someone just trying to sell as many helmets as they can. But if you have a better way of determining safety, I'd love to know :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
