MOUTH GUARDS

The wearing of mouth guards at practices and games is very strongly encouraged. Mouth guards not only protect the teeth, but are effective at preventing concussions in youth hockey players, as  shown in recent research. In the interest of player safety, OGHA strongly suggests players fit a comfortable mouth guard that they can get used to wearing on a regular basis.
