Parents:
I hope you all have been following the NOCSAE helmet certification issues that have arisen over the last month. If you have not, please see the article here for an explanation. Long and short of it is two lax helmets were stripped of their NOCSAE safety certification: Cascade R and Warrior Regulator.
Cascade recently reached an agreement with NOCSAE that would allow Cascade to modify the very popular "R" helmet to meet the NOCSAE standards. Modified helmets will receive certification sticker showing that the modification was completed in accordance with the standard. This process requires helmets to be returned to Cascade; with all costs associated with the modification and shipment covered by Cascade. An explanation of the process can be found
here.
There has been no resolution to the less popular Warrior helmets as far as I know.
While officials do not actively look for equipment issues, if discovered or pointed out, it will result in a penalty and the player will not be able to play with the illegal equipment.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks -
George Grillon
Jr. Eagles Boys Coordinator
