Hockey Helmet Mask

I am a quite good hockey player, and have started playing, and i need a hockey helmet with a full face mask. I like the design of the helmets with clear face masks. I am looking at a mission helmet with an itech concept II face mask, is that good? Will it scratch if it is dropped or hit?

Yeah they always do no matter what brands they are, they are beauty until they get scratched and then you're always just like, FACK i wish i would of stayed with my cage. Dude just get a cage with a grey interior it kind of makes a difference about visibility. if your's isnt broken then don't bother its not worth it but if your lookin gfor a new one then yeah its worth it.

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

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!

Contoured full-coverage adjustable back plate
Durable chrome metal cage clips and screws
Chrome finish pro style welded wire cage

I used a 'pimp my mask' by itech, which is a legal 'cat eye'. My new helmet is the itech profile 960. Will the legalized cat eye fit my new 960??

Depends on the 'cut' of the cats eye cage, if it's an Itech they should be compatible

Is there much of a difference, and would it be legal to wear an ice hockey mask during a floorball game?

The ice hockey helmet is much heavier and safer. You could take an ice hockey helmet to a floor hockey game. No one ever complains if you wear too much equipment. You couldn't go the other way though because a floor hockey helmet would explode (and possibly your head with it) if you got nailed with a good slap-shot.

What is the legal age to be wearing a visor instead of a full mask in hockey?

It's 18 but you also need to be playing either Senior or in a Junior league that permits it. An 18 year old cannot wear a visor in a Midget or high school level game regardless of their age. Not all Junior leagues permit players to wear visors.
