Most used NHL helmets of all time
Every helmet brand and model on record for 951 NHL players since 1917, ranked by how many players have a sourced record of it. CCM leads with 514 players. Today's top models skew the all-time model list, because current pro-stock listings are far more complete than old auction records.

Counts are players, not items, and a player on record with two brands counts for both, so shares can add past 100%. Auction dates are often approximate ("late 1990s"), so the first and last seasons are as the source dated them. Sher-Wood and Sherwood are counted as one brand. Every record links to its source on the player page.
