As we head into another season, please ensure that all Sabres players are wearing proper equipment and that it is being worn properly.
In light of recent trends in equipment being worn improperly - specifically, helmet facemasks, mouthguards, neck guards and the goalie throat protector, commonly referred to as the ‘dangler’ – we’ve created a guide for all participants to show the correct ways to wear your equipment.
On-ice officials will be enforcing Hockey Canada rules related to the use of illegal equipment, which address both not wearing the piece of equipment, and not wearing it properly, with the ability to call penalties.
