Now when you go to an ice rink and look at the hockey players on the ice you can see youth and adult hockey players wearing not only CCM, Bauer and Jofa helmets, but you can also see hockey players wearing the Mission hockey helmet, RBK hockey helmet and even Easton helmets. When Mission first entered the market they focused mainly on providing protective equipment to roller hockey players, but as a few years past they decided to enter the ice hockey equipment market and have done pretty well. There are even a few National Hockey League players that are sponsored by Mission. Mission hockey helmets have a very distinct look compared to its competition. When you first take a look at the Mission hockey helmet you may be put off by its looks and you might be of the opinion that their helmets are ugly. While I definitely have to agree that Mission ice hockey helmets are somewhat ugly, I am going to go out on a limb and assume that these helmets are very comfortable and they are also incredibly protective which is all you really want in a helmet.

If you can get past the initial look of the Mission hockey helmet, you might find that these are actually very well made helmets that can compare to the comfort of the old Jofa hockey helmets that former professional hockey players like Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr and Peter Forsberg used to wear. Too many players these days worry too much about looking cool and the consequences of looking cool while playing hockey can potentially cause severe injuries to hockey players. You might consider doing a bit of research on hockey helmets and which ones offer the best protection, I am not 100% sure, but I would guess that Mission hockey helmets are up there in terms of being one of the most protective hockey helmets that you can spend your money on. These hockey helmets made by Mission might be a little bit difficult to find at your local pro shop, but luckily today we have the internet and many hockey equipment websites that sell all sorts of different ice hockey equipment, I’m sure that after a few minutes of surfing on the web you can find a place where you can buy your own Mission ice hockey helmet.

Not only should you protect your head by wearing quality ice hockey helmets, you should also protect your head and your face by wearing some sort of face protection. Whether it be a half shield or a cage, you should definitely have something to protect your eyes from uncontrollable sticks and pucks that are head high. While children do not have a choice and have to wear a full face mask with their ice hockey helmet, adult hockey players have the choice of whether or not to wear any type of face protection. To me this is a no brainer, I do not care how much grief I get from opposing players about wearing a mask I want to avoid the pain and the cost of having an injury to my face while playing hockey.

Another common mistake that I see from a lot of hockey players when they buy a new ice hockey helmet is the fact that they immediately remove the ear guards from their helmets right after they get them. This doesn’t make much sense because you really can not feel the ear guards and they do not get in your way or distract you, the only thing they are there for is to add some extra protection to another important part of your head. Several professional hockey players are starting to keep the ear protection on their helmets in tact to prevent injuries to their own ears, it just makes sense.

While ice hockey helmets do a good job of preventing concussions, in order to drastically reduce your chances of getting a concussion with a hockey helmet on is to wear a good mouth guard. Many concussions that happen today are not a result of a helmet that is not protective enough, rather they happen because the player was not wearing a mouth guard which in turn allowed the smashing of their top and bottom teeth and jaws to cause the concussion. Mouth guards are essential to preventing or limiting the chances of head injuries that are becoming more and more common with each passing year.

If you have been interested in playing or watching hockey for a long time, you probably remember the old school helmets like the Jofa hockey helmet that Wayne Gretzky wore, or the Winwell helmet that Mark Messier wore. However, these old styles of hockey helmets have faded into obscurity because they could not compete with CCM hockey helmets. The CCM ice hockey helmet has a classic look that hasn’t changed much in the last twenty years. Nowadays, however CCM helmets have some competition in terms of helmet popularity, but it is obvious that the new helmets that are gaining popularity are based off of the classic CCM hockey helmet design that has been around for so long. Brands like Nike/Bauer, RBK and even Easton have hockey helmets that are very comparable to the CCM style.

When I look at hockey helmets today, I have to say that I really do prefer the CCM helmet because it has that classic look. Although all hockey helmets have changed drastically in terms of protection for preventing injuries, the look of CCM hockey helmets have hardly changed at all. They have been engineered to prevent concussions and to protect hockey players heads more than ever before, and while you might think that it would make the CCM ice hockey helmets bulkier and somewhat more “goofy” looking, this is definitely not the case.

Obviously the most important thing when it comes to ice hockey helmets is that they provide sufficient protection in the high speed, contact sport of hockey. Concussions can definitely be prevented with the use of a quality hockey helmet, and CCM hockey helmets have evolved into good looking helmets, which they always have been, that can prevent injuries because of the quality of padding and craftsmanship that goes into the manufacturing of these classic hockey helmets.

The CCM hockey helmet is great for adults and children alike, as they make many different models of helmets to fit a particular size of head. It is important to make sure that if your child is using a face mask or cage that fits their face well. CCM hockey helmets are pretty much universal when it comes to face mask and half shield compatibility, but you will probably want to do some research online or at your local hockey shop to make sure that your preferred face mask or half shield will fit on your CCM hockey helmet.

Back about fifteen years ago, the style of helmet for hockey was not quite as consistent as it is today. Remember when Wayne Gretzky would wear the small, almost without any padding Jofa hockey helmet? Or how about the bulkier and much more rotund Jofa helmet that Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr would wear? Then you also had the old school Winwell hockey helmets that Mark Messier would wear. Although their were some unique choices for helmets just a few decades ago, CCM revolutionized hockey helmet design and their helmet style has been copied and adapted by many other ice hockey equipment brands. Now, it is rare to see any professional hockey player wearing any different type of hockey helmet.

Currently the helmet I wear is of the Bauer variety, just because I feel like it fits my slightly misshapen head a bit better than the CCM helmet. I also like the way that my Jofa hockey cage fits on the Bauer hockey helmet. When buying ice hockey helmets for yourself or your child, the most important thing to look for is the amount of padding inside of the helmet. You never know what is going to happen out there, and even if you do not play in a check ice hockey league, you can still take a spill and hit your head, and as we all know that ice is hard, so the more padding in your helmet the safer you or your child will be.
