Hi all,
I have been playing with those guys in the past, all Midget A+ guys and was really outclassed. I left for a level C-D league and have been having a lot of fun and learned different things with them.
Yesterday I played again in the strong league and had a blast, got a goal and maybe a slight concussion... (no issue with light, noise or balance but a slight headache that's just letting me know that it did hit hard)
Now, that Reebok 3k is just not good enough to protect my noggin, hence looking for MUCH better than that entry level helmet.
There are a bunch of new helmets available this year and was wondering what was your experience with those new designs aiming at reducing concussions.
In sight for me is the CCM Resistance with CCM taking over the Reebok brand.

(note that this Canadian dollars pricing, me being in Canada)
Is that WAY too much? Other cheaper options still providing a similar level of protection?
Thanks
