A good way to avoid hoodsqueeze is to put a shoestring arond the head under the hood and out of it on the sides. If you look careful on this photo you can see the string enter inside the hood on my left side. The water comes in so slowly and in so small amounts that you hardly notice it, yet there is no squeeze.

By the way, this photo is taken on CIPA's boat in Nice, there you can do some kick-ass training in good conditions.
