The Hockey Helmet is a hard sports helmet made for ice hockey players. It is worn in the hat slot and covers the head.
The helmet is solid head armour. It stops most bites and most scratches aimed at the head. That makes it one of the safer hats for a survivor who fights up close. Its cost falls on the senses, since it cuts how far the wearer sees and hears.
The helmet comes in two looks, a plain one and one with a tinted visor. Both give the same protection. Sports storage rooms and gym storage rooms are the best places to find one. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Hockey Helmet stops about seven of ten bites and four of five scratches on the head. The Hard Hat, Military Helmet, Batting Helmet, Crash Helmet and Firefighter Helmet give the same protection. The Bicycle Helmet and the Riding Helmet stop far fewer bites, so the Hockey Helmet is a clear step up from them.
The helmet is built for protection, not warmth. The Crash Helmet is the better pick for cold weather, since it keeps the head much warmer at the same level of protection.
The main drawback is the cut to sight and hearing. Both drop by a quarter while the helmet is worn. Zombies coming from the side or behind are harder to notice. The Hard Hat costs sight but leaves hearing alone. The helmet also adds a little discomfort.
The Hockey Helmet takes the hat slot. It clashes with a hooded jacket, a hooded sweater, a bulky hooded jacket and a full suit with a hood. Anything that covers the full head or the full top also clashes with it.
Variations
The Hockey Helmet comes in 2 versions with the same stats. Only the look changes.

Locations
The Hockey Helmet is easy to find in the right place. Sports storage rooms hold one more than half the time. Gym storage rooms carry it in cardboard boxes and on metal shelves in about three of ten searches. School gym storage rooms and sports stores turn one up now and then. Closets, pawn shops and survivor safehouses hold them only rarely.

Notes
- The Hockey Helmet guards the head as well as the Military Helmet or the Hard Hat.
- Sight and hearing both drop while it is worn, so a careful look around helps.
- Hoods and full head gear clash with it, so a hooded top must be swapped out first.
- Sports storage rooms are the likeliest place to find one.
