neck guard
Hockey goalie's armor
A neck guard is protective equipment worn around the neck to prevent cuts or injuries.
In ice hockey, neck guards shield against skate blades and puck impacts.
In cricket and baseball, they attach to helmets to protect against balls striking the back of the neck.
Fencing and some combat sports also use neck guards: After the accident, the league mandated neck guards for all players.
