Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AYCANE Blade GTY have a built-in neck guard?
Yes. The Blade GTY combines a long-sleeve youth hockey base layer with an integrated HECC-certified neck guard. This gives young players neck protection and a performance base layer in one streamlined piece.
Is the Blade GTY cut-proof?
No. The Blade GTY is cut-resistant, not cut-proof. It provides certified ANSI A7 cut resistance at the neck along with cut-resistant wrist protection, but no cut-resistant garment can completely prevent cuts from skate blades or other sharp equipment.
What does ANSI A7 cut resistance mean?
ANSI cut-resistance ratings range from A1 to A9, with higher numbers indicating greater resistance to cutting under standardized testing. A7 is near the top of the scale and represents a tested cutting load of 4,000–4,999 grams. The Blade GTY uses ANSI A7-rated cut-resistant material at the neck. Cut-resistant does not mean cut-proof.
Is the AYCANE Blade GTY HECC certified?
Will my child get too warm wearing it under hockey equipment?

The Blade GTY is designed specifically as a hockey base layer. Its lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying fabric helps manage heat and moisture during practices and games while maintaining a flexible next-to-skin fit.

Will my child get too warm wearing it under hockey equipment?
What makes the Blade GTY different from a regular hockey base layer?

The Blade GTY combines several hockey-specific features in one shirt: an integrated HECC-certified neck guard, ANSI A7 cut-resistant neck protection, cut-resistant wrist coverage, moisture-managing stretch fabric, and silicone grip at the elbows to help keep elbow pads in place. It's designed specifically around the needs of young hockey players.
