No, the hockey mask won't prevent all injuries. I had a ball hit my shoulder and then the back of my jaw. That smarted more than a bit. But it is far more protective then the standard mask. I believe that if the ump in the Dodger's game had been wearing one, he would have had a much better outcome. Last year, I actually had a ball stick onto one the bars (kept it--the ding on the ball is impressive) and I barely even felt the hit. I wholeheartedly endorse using the helmet.

My buddy in CA. was working a D-1 game a couple weeks ago and took a foul ball to the HSM. The mask shattered right there.

Time to ditch the goalie mask.
