Helmets for contact sports, such as those used in football, hockey and lacrosse, typically include a chin protector that removably secures the helmet on the wearer's head. Chin protectors include a central portion, such as a protective cup, that engages the wearer's chin and at least one elongated strap member extending outward from each side of the cup. Conventional chin protectors are detachable from the helmet to allow for easy removal of the helmet, and for maintenance of the chin strap itself. 3, record 3, English, - chin%20guard

Jacques Plante, a goaler for the hockey team "Le Canadien de Montréal", is the first hockey player to have worn a mask in the 1960's. The practice became popular to the point that now every goaler wears a complete "mask" while many offensive players wear a "face shield, guard or protector" attached to their helmet, hence the difficulty distinguishing among the different terms. The idea is now accepted by players in many sports : ice, field or roller hockey, short-track speed skating, ringette, etc. The protection worn by the receiver in baseball stands in the same category. 8, record 5, English, - face%20mask

Le masque protecteur a d'abord été porté par les gardiens de but au hockey sur glace puis par les joueurs d'avant et de défense, d'où le fait que les sources ne distinguent pas toujours entre le masque, protecteur facial porté par le gardien, et le masque, visière ou grille protectrice rattachée au casque que portent les autres joueurs de hockey. Le port du masque protecteur est devenu pratique courante dans de nombreux sports. 9, record 5, French, - masque
