Bauer Hockey is helping players, fans, and coaches return to the game safely with a new line of face protection products.
On Wednesday morning, the brand unveiled two new off-ice protection masks; the Integrated Cap Shield and Reversible Fabric Mask, and one on-ice protection splash mask; the Concept Three Splash Guard. According to Bauer's website, the reversible mask is available now, whereas the shield and guard will be ready by August.
The Integrated Shield can be attached to the brim of a baseball cap or worn separately, and includes both adjustable straps and anti-fog treatment. The Reversible Fabric Mask is available in different designs and is "an effective and comfortable option to be worn around the rink or in communities," according to Bauer's website. The Concept 3 Splash Guard can be cleaned and disinfected for re-use.
Bauer has partnered with Canlan Ice Sports corporation, as the latter's staff, including zone control attendants and health and safety ambassadors, will use the former's products as part of a comprehensive program to re-open the company’s 49 ice rinks across North America.
Bauer previously halted its sports equipment production to produce and deliver more than 2 million medical grade face-shields back in March, and are back making a huge splash in the sports world. August can't come soon enough!
