Helmet for 6-8 year old

[cdnredraider]

I have two nephews in town here that I'm looking to play hockey with. Unfortunately, all our junior helmets are long gone and I have nothing for them to wear when they jump in net.

I'm looking for some recommendations for what would be a good model for 'em. They will only be facing a tennis ball. I doubt that a hockey ball would even be used for a while as the 8 year old is really small for his age so they won't be growing large enough to fit into bigger protection for a while. This is basically just drive way hockey.

I've tried to look at the regular sites for a helmet, but I'm totally unfamiliar with regular helmet models and I can't come close from the pictures to telling what size they actually are.

This should be sufficient and it is a junior small it says so that is probably the closest size to what they would wear...

These would work. and they come with different graphics so you could let them choose whatever they want.

Any decent player helmet and cage would be fine as well.

Agreed, it'll be lighter and more comfortable. When they're bigger have them make the switch and until bantams they can use the itech widowmakers like the 1200 and 1400.
edit: didn't see it was for street hockey... just throw anything with a cage on them
