Should I use my head to make saves

I’m playing for my high school junior varsity team, I’d this a high enough level where I should try and block shots with my head? (Only if needed) I took a slap shot to the face recently and it broke my dangler. I’m wondering if it’s too risky or if I should just take it. I also play football so the CTE is gonna hit me hard later in life anyway. 🤤
