Since the introduction of helmets the incidence of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in ice hockey has greatly decreased, but the incidence of concussions has essentially remained unchanged. Despite goaltenders in ice hockey being the only players on the ice for the entire game, few have assessed the performance of ice hockey goaltender masks. In ice hockey, goaltenders are exposed to impacts from collisions, falls and projectiles. The objective of this study was to assess the protective capacity of ice hockey goaltender masks for three accident events associated with concussion. A helmeted and unhelmeted medium NOCSAE headform were tested under conditions representing three common accident events in ice hockey. Falls were reconstructed using a monorail drop. A pneumatic linear impactor was used to reconstruct collisions and projectile impacts were reconstructed using a pneumatic puck launcher. Three impact locations and three velocities were selected for each accident event based on video analysis of real world concussive events. Peak resultant linear acceleration, peak resultant rotational acceleration and rotational velocity of the headform were measured. The University College Dublin Brain Trauma Model (UCDBTM) was used to calculate maximum principal strain (MPS) and von Mises stress in the cerebrum. The results demonstrated the importance of assessing the protective capacity of ice hockey goaltenders masks for each accident, as each event created a unique response. A comparison of unhelmeted and helmeted impacts revealed ice hockey goaltender masks are effective at reducing the risk of both concussion and TBI for falls and projectiles, but less so for collisions. Further, the risk of more serious injuries was found to increase for falls and collisions as impact velocity increased. The results highlight the importance of impacting multiple locations when assessing the protective capacity of ice hockey goaltenders masks, as different impact locations result in unique responses. Overall this study demonstrated ice hockey goaltenders masks capacity to reduce the risk of concussion across three accident events.
