Full Face Protection

Post by RocketGirl »

With all the excitement about Thorold, what has been missed is that the OHA officially announced yesterday that all Jr levels under their umbrella will be going back to full cages/visors for next season.

Sometimes you just have to straighten your crown and remind them who they're dealing with.

There are many 16 & 17 yr olds in this league. There is also much peer pressure for them to play with the half shield. As I see it reducing the risk of our young sons losing teeth, breaking a jaw, suffering a concussion or worse injuring an eye is a no brainer. Perhaps the real men could play without their jock straps if they have something to prove.

Players would rather go to CIS. Real development. Players will have be wearing visors in the O when they love up. Doesn't make sense at all

So how many players actually move up to the OHL? Many more move on to college, Jr C, the beer leagues or just retire from playing. What doesn't make sense is unnecessarily risking what could be serious injury.

I doubt the CCHL, BCHL, AJHL etc will be going back to cages because the OHA wants to.

its a develop league that is meant to move players up. I would suggest something like your first year in the league you have to wear a full face mask then the second year you choose
