I was wondering where/when it is ok for a player to remove their helmet.

Not totally sure about the USA rule set, as I'm Canadian, but I know in Canada, the only acceptable times to remove the helmet are a) to take a drink....obviously, this doesn't apply to half visors b) to affect repairs and c) in the dressing room after the game...
