In Topic: Neck Protectors

From what I've read, this is the 2nd time in like 20 years that it's happened.

 

At the pro level, that is reported maybe. I'd wager that these incidents happen a lot more than you and I both are aware of. Just because some beer leaguer doesn't end up on TSN with a neck cut, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. 


In Topic: Pro player with tinted visor

A player was wearing a pink visor due to an eye disease that caused deterioration of vision and severe headaches from the bright tv lights and reflection off the glass. He didn't want to wear it, but the team and doctors put it on his helmet. He uses eye drops between periods as well.

I heard its because the D men are slower skating backwards, makes it easier to read compared to when forwards are flying up the ice.

Yeah I saw some closer pictures of the build codes. Looks like its build code is Proto RA007.

 

Here are the pictures

Appreciated your thoughts on this. I took a puck to the mouth last Friday, and having officially entered my late 30's this summer, I've decided that I'm finally completely over getting hit in the face below my visor. Admittedly, I sprung for a Tron visor/cage combo after several regulars at the rink sung its praises, but it's good to have options to fall back on in case that one doesn't work out.

 

Went to an oreo cage a few years ago after some close calls that I wasn't willing to have happen again. No regrets there
