This follows the death of Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson.
The 29-year-old American died after his neck was cut by an opponent's blade during Saturday's Challenge Cup match against the Sheffield Steelers.
From the 2024 season, it will be a requirement to wear a neck guard for "all on-ice activities".
