Dallas Ice Jets dedicated to ensuring the well-being of our players

Ice Jets Hockey has joined forces with the Texas Health Ben Hogan Sports Medicine, Cascade Sports and The Messier Project to better protect our players from concussion and its after affects. 

The Messier Project and Cascade Sports M11 helmet

Hockey Hall of Famer Mark Messier has taken an active role in the design and development of the M11 by Cascade Sports, the first product offering of The Messier Project, while leading the charge to make head protection a top priority in the sport and to promote safe play.

“The Ice Jets join more than 500 teams and organizations across the United States and Canada who are ‘members of the evolution,’” said The Messier Project's, Chris Rotelli. “The Messier Project team applauds the Ice Jets for taking this step in their community. It is our mutual quest to make head protection a priority at the youth level.”
