What Is a Dasher Board

A Dasher Board is a protective device that is installed around a hockey rink and is usually made of materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Its main role is to protect the safety of athletes and spectators, reduce the impact of collisions, and reduce the risk of injury.

Dasher Board has the following functions:

Protect the safety of athletes: it can effectively reduce the impact force of athletes when they collide with the baffle during high-speed gliding, reduce the risk of injury, especially for the head, body and other parts of the important protective role.

Maintain competition order: help define the boundaries of the competition field, prevent athletes from slipping out of the field or excessively deviating from the competition area, and maintain the normal progress and fluency of the competition.

Increase the intensity of competition: Athletes can use Dasher Board for reasonable physical confrontation and tactical use, which increases the antagonism and enjoyment of the competition to some extent.

Spectator protection: Prevent the ball or player from accidentally rushing into the audience and ensure the safety of the audience.
