No. It was actually the norm in amateur hockey because the form fitted masks were not legal for many years. You may look a little out of date, but not silly. Besides, it’s about having fun, not being stylish.

I think it was Osgood and Hasek who wore regular helmets and cages back in the ’90s. As long as you don’t wear the plastic masks, I think you’ll be fine.

No Hasek does it. However, you should know that your regular helmet is going to protect you a lot less then a goalie helmet will so you should probably borrow a friends.

if your having an 80’s theme hockey game it be fine. i would go with a goalie helmet preferrably. plus it is probably safer with more neck/jaw protection with a real goalie helmit.
