Are Goalies permitted to wear goalie equipment other than leg pads?
Goalies are permitted to wear other goalie equipment such as goalie gloves, chest protectors, and CSA-approved goalie masks. Goalie leg pads are not permitted, as this can reduce the number of goals (games are 25 minutes) and can be unfair when a team with pads plays a team without pads. Goalies may wear shin pads for leg protection. Goalie masks must be CSA-approved (not street-hockey masks), otherwise the goalie should wear a normal CSA-approved helmet with a full shield. A goalie must wear some form of hand protection – if not goalie gloves, then hockey gloves.
