NECK GUARD FAQS

  • What do Neck Guards do in Hockey?

    Neck guards protect players from lacerations and other injuries to their necks during a game. They’re usually made out of shock-resistant padding and fit around the neck like a cushioned collar.

  • What Size Neck Guard should I get?

    You want your neck guard to feel snug but not uncomfortably tight; it should cover your entire throat but also not restrict your range of motion. To find your measurement for the perfect-sized neck guard, simply measure the circumference of your neck.

  • What’s the difference between Bibbed and Collar-style Neck Guards?

    Bibbed neck guards offer extended protection for the upper chest and collarbone
    Collar-style neck guards focus on neck coverage only, with a lower profile

    Bibbed styles are popular for added coverage, while collar styles are preferred for minimal bulk.

  • What are CE-certified Neck Guards?

    CE-certified neck guards meet European safety standards for cut resistance and impact protection. All neck guards sold by us are CE-certified, giving you peace of mind that they meet strict protective criteria.

  • Are Neck Guards mandatory in UK Ice Hockey?

    Yes — neck guards are mandatory for most youth and junior leagues in the UK. Many adult recreational leagues also require them. Always check with your coach or league for specific rules. Willies only stocks certified neck guards that meet UK safety standards.
