GOALIE NECK GUARDS FAQS

  • What does a goalie neck guard do?

    A goalie neck guard protects the throat, clavicle, and upper chest from pucks, sticks, and skate blades. It’s designed to absorb impact and reduce injury risk in high‑exposure areas. Some models include bib extensions for added collarbone coverage.

  • Are goalie neck guards mandatory?

    Yes — most UK leagues and youth programmes require certified neck protection for goalies.

    Check for BNQ or CE certification to ensure compliance. Willies stocks certified options suitable for all levels of play.

  • What’s the difference between a neck guard and a dangler?

    - Neck guard: Worn around the neck or shoulders, made of padded fabric or foam, protects soft tissue and collarbones.

    - Dangler: A plastic shield attached to the mask, protects the throat from direct shots.

    Many goalies wear both for full coverage.

  • How should a goalie neck guard fit?

    A proper fit should:

    - Sit snugly around the neck without restricting movement or breathing

    - Cover the throat and collarbone area

    - Stay in place during movement and butterfly drops

    Adjustable closures help fine‑tune the fit.

  • Can I wear a neck guard with a dangler?

    Absolutely — most goalies wear both for layered protection. The neck guard protects soft tissue and collarbones, while the dangler shields the throat from direct shots. Willies stocks both types for full coverage.
