The Goalkeeper Mask Guide below is an effort to help determine the difference between a Certified Cat-Eye face mask and a Non-Certified Cat-Eye face mask. Please go to www.hecc.net for a complete listing of HECC certified equipment.

 The NFHS requires that all players, goalkeepers, and officials wear a helmet that is certified by the Hockey Equipment Certification Council (HECC), which meets the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard. All face masks and shields by players, goalkeepers, and officials shall also meet the HECC/ASTM certification.
