After the almost tragedy at the Loyola game, parents should be aware of the new NOCSAE ND200 standard for lacrosse chest protectors. That standard is already mandatory for goalies, but will apply to all players beginning in 2022.

But really there is no reason to wait. Newer pads will meet that standard which was specifically designed to prevent a commotio cordis injury.

The USL information on the standard is here: https://www.uslacrosse.org/safety/equipment/chest-protector-faq
