So this type of mask is illegal? I guess the referees would be the ones to enforce the rules on this.

Referees are responsible. I've seen a goalie in a high school game get assessed a two minute penalty for illegal equipment. His stick had too much curve and the referee actually measured it by the bench and made him switch it out.

I know that some goalies illegally pad underneath their jersey. Never gets caught.

I would think that it should start with the coach. They should make sure that their players are using approved equipment before they hit the ice. Especially something as important as a goalie mask.

I would back up one step. It should start at home. Before purchasing equipment the player/family should make sure meets league requirements.

From there I think the coach has responsibility to make sure his players are using equipment that meets league requirements.

Finally, if it slips though those cracks, the Refs should call infractions for improper equipment.

.... I assume Hibbing won the game in which the goalie equipment is being questioned....

Generally a coach has to allege illegal equipment. The ref then measures as needed, and if illegal, the penalty is assessed. However, if the equipment is legal, the alleging team gets a minor for delay. That is per the USA hockey rules.

However, high school is covered by a different set of rules, you should make sure the HS rules ban that type of cage. As an example, when USA Hockey changed the leg pad and glove dimensions, HS rules allowed the old measurements for an additional 2 years.
