Neck Laceration Protectors
Starting August 1, 2024, players competing in youth, girls, high school or junior hockey within USA Hockey are required to wear neck laceration protectors (NLPs) for all games and practices. In addition, on-ice officials under the age of 18 as well as players in all six disciplines within USA Hockey’s disabled hockey program are also required to wear NLPs.
USA Hockey and the Concussion Legacy Foundation have teamed up to raise concussion awareness and strengthen team bonds through Team Up Against Concussions (TUAC).
TUAC is a simple speech designed to be given from a team leader before each season. The core message: teammates have a responsibility to speak up to a team leader if they notice concussion signs in a teammate.
USA Hockey's Team Up Against Concussions Week is scheduled for October 23-27, 2023. Throughout the week, USA Hockey will share videos of Team USA players from all over the country giving the TUAC speech to their teams
