The exact date of entry into force of this mandate for the senior categories will depend on the supply situation. The IIHF remains in close contact with its suppliers to ensure they are able to meet the current high demand.
Until the rule officially comes into effect, the IIHF strongly recommends that all players participating in IIHF competitions wear neck and neck protection.
Yasmin Stepina, ÖEHV Vice President for Health & Anti-Doping: “We welcome the IIHF’s decision and are doing everything we can to equip our senior national teams as quickly as possible. How quickly we can do this depends on the suppliers, who are currently barely able to keep up with production due to the high demand.”
