Be the Referee: Neck Laceration Protector

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.

Below is this week's segment – Neck Laceration Protector - Listen

In ice hockey, all players – including the goalie – must wear a neck laceration protector. This has been the rule in Michigan for a number of years but is now a national playing rule.

The ice hockey rule book states the protector must be worn in its original manufactured state, as intended, during competition.

Should a player enter a game without the neck laceration protector, or if it comes off during play, that player must go to the bench and can only return when the protector has been properly affixed. If the player refuses to wear the equipment, play will be stopped, and a two-minute penalty will be assessed to that player.

Goalies must wear the protector underneath and separate from the flapper-style throat protector at the bottom of their mask.
