USA Hockey permits teams, leagues and associations to adopt local rules, including those relating to equipment. The equipment rules may be more strict (require more gear than USA Hockey), but they may not be any less strict, or the USA Hockey insurance could be voided (not valid) because of the lesser non-USA Hockey protective rules being used.
