I bought a ccm vector helmet made in 2009 for $1 at the local thrift shop. The first thing I did was remove the cage on my medium sized Bauer helmet and attached it to the smaller helmet. I pulled the helmet all the way out and tightened it up. It fits snug, however the helmet does not rest an inch above eye level, more like 1 in a half or 2 inches. It's a size small, but I prefer it over my other one because when I shack my head left or right the helmet does not wiggle even a little bit from side to side, but what makes it work for myself is that the helmet does not feel uncomfortable on my head. I may need to move back to my Bauer helmet if it's 100% imperative to follow this particular instructional video. I just like the idea of using the ccm because it only cost me a dollar and looks sortof modern still.
These are guidelines to help people have a general idea of how a helmet should fit. Everyone has a different preference for comfort. The most important thing for a helmet is making sure it doesn't move around and will keep you safe from impacts, falls etc.
If you have tried the largest helmet options, you could try to go to your closest Pure Hockey location to get your head scanned for a custom helmet. A custom helmet is expensive but a scan could be a good way to see what fit would be best. www.purehockey.com/product/ccm-super-tacks-x-total-custom-hockey-helmet-custom-design/itm/56874-2/
You should redo the video. If you look at the helmet and cage the J-Clips are not engaged which means any force will break your jaw before the clips showing an unsafe fit.

Thank you for the feedback! This video is more for the fit of the actual helmet, but a specific one on cages and face shields would be a good idea.
