Warwick Goalie Mask Test 160 mph

The Warwick Goalie Mask .44 mag helmet in the 2.26 lb Nabakov model withstanding a 160 mph hockey puck shot. The pre-pregnated composite material has carbon fiber structural beams place strategically throughout the mask which transfers the energy of the puck to the perimeter of the mask shell. This technology is exclusive to Warwick Mask Company. Facebook: Warwick Goalie Masks www.warwickmaskcompany.com

The mask moves to displace the energy of the puck. This is very important and specific to our composite layup schedule. A TON of work went onto this development. To move the energy away from the player’s head dramatically reduces head trauma. Combined with vibration damp, the player receives minimal ”bang” when hit with a puck.

Thanks to everybody for their posts and interest in Warwick Goalie Masks.

Questions answered: To shoot the puck at 160 mph we pressurized the autoclave, which is 5’ dia X 6’ long to 120 psi. This gave the volume and pressure of air we needed to propel the puck through our hockey puck gun. The first picture shows the autoclave piped to the 8’ gun. The puck travels through a chronograph to verify the puck speed. The black square traveling behind the puck is a wadding to fill the gaps in the puck gun – like a black powder musket gun.

Shhhh...don't tell anyone, it makes those of us who stop pucks at any speed seem superhuman, lol! Bobby Hull made 105 MPH slapshots with wooden sticks in the '60s, and few top that even today (thankfully). At any rate, most of us mere mortals would lose conciousness being hit with a 160 MPH shot, if not worse (were that possible), but it's good to know that there's a mask that doesn't break but flexes at that impact velocity. Like an aircraft wing, flex is best.

@hockeymatt1994 ka BOOM!

The apparatus securing the mask and helmet in the video is far more rigid that the human spine. Such an impact would knock a person off their skates, so I hope the back of the helmet can withstand the force of the helmet against the cross-bar.

It might have been worthwhile to place a pirce of melon inside the helmet and see how it fares against the impact on the mask face.

0:52 .... why goalies wear masks

[hockeymatt1994]

1:56 why goalies wear masks now....

[valitseparas]

Is that normal mask? Why is it so flexible?

[titties100]

no matter how good the mask is, and warwick is without a doubt, the number one goal mask company, a hard shot to the pumpkin always rattles your brain and keeps those ears ringing for a few minutes.

@tylerdurdonxx When you look a thte mask it really seems to disperse the energy throughout the entire mask, which is extremely important towards keeping my head safe.
