Hockey Helmet Cage

I am going to be starting to play hockey on ice for the first time and I'm looking for a helmet to buy. Would you recommand a cage on a helmet or a clear shield type mask on the helmet, the problem with that is that it can get fogy I believe, but if some of you had any experience and some input I would love to hear it, thanks

I use a cage. I has much better protection. It doesn't fog up. It is cooler .After a while you don't even notice the bars on it while you are playing. It also won't get scratched as easily as a shield would from a puck or a stick . So they tend to last longer as well.

A nine year old player's perception of minor hockey in Canada.

I am debating getting a 4500 with a white cage or just sticking with my 5500 and getting a chrome cage. I don"t know
Swag is swagger and i want to get this helmet because it looks cool. I am also one of the better players on the ice and biggest so safety is more minor. Im just asking from a looks perspective.
It would probably be ccm/jofa or itech

'Swag'? Not really sure what you mean by that, but I prefer the 5500 helmet. You get no-tool adjustment and memory foam adding comfort and protection. The two fit a little bit differently, so I would try them on before choosing.

I am not a fan of the white cage, but I really like the chrome look.

I would go with the 5500 and chrome cage.

I was just wondering if you could use a roller hockey helmet for ice hockey if your cage is upgraded....im not sure and confused....and if you have one that I can buy for cheap it would be helpfull. I am just starting out as a goal tender and I dont want to spend a ton in case im not good or dont like it....well hope you can help.....

Directly from the USA Hockey In-line rule book.

It is mandatory for all goalkeepers to wear a helmet designed for hockey with the helmet strap properly fastened and full face mask designed for hockey with a chin cup. It is mandatory that all goalkeepers participating in the High School age group division and below, and for goalkeepers under the age of 18 playing in the Adult age division, to wear an H.E.C.C. approved helmet with the helmet strap properly fastened and an H.E.C.C approved full face mask.

sorry for being so anal about the rule but I am an in-line hockey ref, and from personal experience, I have seen to many kids and adults get hurt because of improper equipment....besides if you going to be a goalie, you better have the best equipment . Those pucks hurt!

I play in goal in ice hockey and have always used a helmet/cage combo. I've tried using a mask a couple of times and didn't really like it.

I was wondering what the main difference are between the two (other than the obvious). Is one safer than the other etc.
Every time I've played someone has told me I'm crazy for going in net with only a helmet/cage.
I wear a neck guard (one of the ones that wraps around your neck) so should be fine on that front

Yea its kinda dangerous. Lets say you flip to make a save and the puck hits you right in the neck. Otherwise i think theirs basically no difference just opinion!

I already have the hm30 cage, but I am looking for the hm30 strap to go with it.

you can always try ebay or even a local sports store.
