I work at a hockey shop, and play highschool hockey. Our store is authorized to sell these custom bauer helmets. Take it from me, you do not need these helmets in any way shape or form, it may seem like a great idea but I felt and wore the helmet, the material in their helmet is not great at all. Even thought he says it, hockey helmets are not one size fits all, they have different lengths and widths for every brand and each style of helmet. As long as you figure out which size and width fits you the best and not go for just whatever the most expensive is or try to be super brand specific. Unless your playing professional hockey at a very high level or have an abnormally shaped head, you do absolutely not need to spend the money.
Just gonna say this real quick. I work at Pure Hockey. If you don't know us we are one of if not the largest hockey retailer in the US. These custom helmets are honestly a scam. Most people find a retail helmet that will fit just as well if not better than a custom helmet and nearly half the cost. Tbh this is just Bauer and CCM ( I know he didn't mention CCM but they have custom helmets coming soon also) trying to make more money from the kind of people who think that top of the line gear makes you Connor McDavid.
You could be close to right. You can probably get 85%+ there by trying out a few helmets, but brain safety isn't something to play with. I'm in motorsports and we have a saying. A $50 helmet is for a $50 brain
@endeavor44 I agree with you we should protect the head as much as possible and you could be right in your assessment that 85% are ok and the rest could need a custom helmet but in my experience none of my customers have needed a custom helmet and could get the same level of protection for $300 less (this is because the customs are built around the current top of the line helmets which cost significantly less) and I'm more likely to say scam because there are several initiatives by pure hockey to entice the customer to spend rewards points on small purchases in order to charge full price on other more expensive items
The braim moves because of the violence of the hit itself, the shaking/jarring of the body, a helmet is good and pading can minimize the shake a little bit, but not much. The trauma is not from things hitting the skull.
Crazy how head hunts arent too blame or the fact that players are stubborn and once they like the look or feel of something specific they usually keep wearing it/using it. Many players have companies that dont make a specific item anymore, make it special just for them. For example the Bauer 4500 is still used today and many guys who had CTE wore one or something very similar. Terrible helmet but looks amazing. Older CCM’s are the same way. But ya sue the company which is easier than the NHL who employs you.
Hockey is the only one size fits all helmet. Football has plenty of helmets to chose from between brand, size, accessories adjustment points etc. I spent 45 minutes trying on helmets, picking a brand, accessories, how much padding I want in it, what type of face mask I wanted. I’m one of those people who on any given day just throws on whatever I’m not picky with designs but football helmets have so many individual adjustable parts. And that was in highschool. I can only imagine what it’s like for college and pro teams. Or even a high school team with real funding
These helmets might be useful. But helmets are not one size fits all. Helmets come with different sizing as well as a helmet adaptability in its sizing by loosening the fitting screws or elongating/shortening the helmet.
Yeah every helmet fits differently. When I was getting a new helmet I tried on bauer ccm warrior and a few others and nothing fit better than ccm. But I know people that can only wear bauers
If was wasn’t a middle school scholastic light-contact I would get this but since the only thing allowed is scrums along boards for bugs and you aren’t able to change your skating path quick enough and flatten him
As a hockey player and fan this seemed smart but they have a poor score on the VST test which is a crash test for hockey and football helmets at Virginia state
If your in the nhl you already know your gonna have concussions if you haven’t already. That’s like playing football and not knowing your gonna get cte
I had a helmet developed by cascade and mark messier to prevent concussion by dispersing energy throughout the helmet upon impact. It’s helped quite a few times. Bauer bought the design and used it for one season and then got rid of it. It was great. I still use the helmet I don’t see anything better on the market
@@josefharasek7487absolutely wrong. It's the whiplash from impact that primarily rattles your brain and causes concussions. There's space between your brain and your skull that no equipment can fill, and when you suddenly change directions (i.e. take a big hit), your brains gonna move around in that space
@@josefharasek7487 even if the helmet was 1ft thick (assuming the players can still move) the players brains would slosh around. It’s all about inertia
Helmets are great for preventing skull fractures, but have limited effectiveness for preventing concussions. Your brain is sloshing around in your skull and a helmet can only do so much to reduce the impact of your brain into your skull, which is what causes concussions. A well fit helmet may be more comfortable, but is not necessarily safer. I am willing to bet that Bauer or CCM does not claim reduced concussions when marketing these custom helmets
For only 500$. Hockey equipment is the most expensive equipment in any sport other than motor sports. My equipment is base line and is like 1,500$. If you were gonna get every piece of gear at the high end price it’s gonna cost like 4k.
Hockey as a sport is fucking dangerous and open ice hits should be illegal. If you're a caveman that lived vicariously through Scott Stevens in the 90s you're what's wrong with this sport.
Won’t do anything. Most nhl players don’t wear concussion helmets anyway. Even Crosby whose had lots of head trouble wears a Reebok from the early 2000s
I remember 10 years ago paying $120 for a top rated helmet. Now that wouldn't even be enough to buy an entry level helmet, let alone $550 for a top rate helmet. I guess hockey is now only a rich man sport.
A season alone for an elite academy is 20 grand on top of the cost of like 2000 bucks for gear and the 350 cost of a stick that might break in 2 months.
A better fitting helmet will not stop your brain from sloshing around in any sport. It’s inertia, you can’t stop it. Idk about hockey but in football helmets are not a 1 size fits all. There are tons of sizes and each brand sizes slightly differently too
Yeah this is basically just a money grab. Although slowing your head down over a greater distance does help disperse impact, nothing is gonna help a sudden stop from 15 mph+ besides a wearable airbag
Here in Ontario Canada Just to register for house league hockey depending which city you are in it could be anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 that's just to register ...so that doesn't even include the equipment which could run a parent up to 10 grand
1) the helmet "will save the NFL" exactly how you think it does, by lessening concussions and CTE, duh. 2) "Every hit a hockey player takes sloshes their brain around a little bit, but there might be a way to change that." If you understand how CTE and concussions work then you'd know how dumb this statement is. Unless the helmet manages to keep your head from moving whatsoever during a hit, the brain is going to move around in the skull because of inertia. 3) helmets are not one size fits all. There is multiple sizes and even shapes. Get a size that fits, get pads that are tight at first, then over time the pads will mold to your head making it a more comfortable fit. 4) part of the reason for there being less players is due to risk of injury AND MONEY. This helmet costs over $500 which was conviently left out and is a piece of equipment you have to replace over time, all helmets need replacing due to pad damage so please look at the helmets expected lifespan and replace it.
550? What are these a pair of skates? Common. Canda needs to subsides this... these prices are crazy. Think about a 3year old till their 18.... that's like 5 times changing equipment due to size... Hockey is expensive but all equipment(not along club fee) should only cost $1,500. Maybe less hut I feel that's a fair number....
Those helmets are over just to expensive I use a 220$ helmet setup and it is perfectly fine plus it is about preference some people do not like those helmets and they have the same helmets for 5 years plus
Players seeing leagues sound a little dumb to me. How come you don't hear about boxers or fighter suing organizations? Maybe because they got paid well and knew they were playing a contact sport. No one forced them to participate in the sport
Hockey doesn’t have the rotational hits like biking. I’m a hockey player and a mountain biker and they don’t need mips in hockey. If you fell the ice would let your head slide instead of violently twisting it like if you fell on a trail
They should do athletic cups too. They’re always way too big

exactly. the skull is actually there for protection in the first place. its the whiplash that causes concussions.
I’m so glad I played in the late 70s and 80s..Never had any of the bullshit problems other than getting checked into the boards from behind ….

Don't forget about the mouth guards, they also help so much with concussions and not enough players use them. Helmet with mouth guards help so much.

Me like “wow that’s a good idea” seeing the price…. “Ummmmm”
Yeah concussions are bad but like I’d take any role playing in the nhl ten times over what I’m doing now.
So crazy how the NHL players were against mandatory helmets years ago . When will the full helmet be made mandatory?
Dont you mean visors lol. Visors have nothing to do with concussion
You know... theres another sport that has a lot more time spent developing helmets the NHL could piggyback on...
I agree with what Don Cherry said in that they have to replace those Kevlar pads because that's how most of these injuries are occurring.
Man I don’t even think all my hockey equipment was that much.
A season alone for an elite academy is 20 grand on top of the cost of like 2000 bucks for gear and the 350 cost of a stick that might break in 2 months.
So the solution for a sport that is quickly pricing its out of existence is a $550 helmet? I think you need to re- consider the problem.
Yeah but it’s $550
Hockey is expensive no matter what

It's never been one size fits all there's different sizes ya plug
only 19M for over 100 players suffering from CTE lmao, thats wild
Be a lot cooler if watching was more accessible too
i think they should all be obligated to wear a buble

$550 huh?
If safety is a concern and the hockey governing bodies want kids to play more the helmets should be free. Let the NHL subsidize it.

The best way to fight head injuries is strengthen your neck and wear your helmet right.
Another way is to just not get hit. Keep your head up and be aware of your surroundings. Sometimes it's unavoidable.
Does anyone else besides me realize how stupid "negative space" is?
Tell me you know nothing about concussions without telling me you know nothing about concussions.
