My son, who is a goalie (or I should say  GHOULIE, in keeping with the
season)  for his high school  team and uses one of the new style goalie
masks.  In fact I am starting to see more of these types of helmets being
used by the kids who are playing in goal in our league.
 
The particular mask he uses is made by Badger, and the catalog he ordered it
from stated that the mask was HECC approved.  The catalog also had other
goalie helmets of the same style that weren't HECC approved and this was
stated by the ad for those helmets.   In all of the various catalogs he has
received they usually state whether the helmet is HECC approved
 
The main difference I saw on the masks that were HECC approved and non-HECC
approved  was the cage.  The non-HECC approved masks had a cage with a
"cat's eye" type opening, while the approved masks had a conventional cage
with square openings of  about "1 inch by 1 inch".  But not knowing what
constitutes HECC approval versus non-approval I won't carry this point any
further.
 
He recently received a catalog from Don Simmons which specifically stated
that certain cages weren't HECC approved.
