I wore a visor until I took a slap shot on the mouth...

and I strapped the shoulder pads back on after my friend got 2 broken ribs from a blocked shot in front of the net...

Quite frankly playing in beer leagues is not worth that level of sacrifice...

Sneezed too hard.

i'm not laughing at you. i'm crying on the inside for you.

in all seriousness i applaud your taking precautions. i have noticed a big difference in Canadian and American beer leaguers. the Canadian guys to tend to wear full gear and full face protection, even neck guards. the Americans, almost as a rule, never wear shoulder pads and are more likely to not wear face protection at all or wear a visor.

There are all types in my league. Some with a cage, some with a visor, some with no protection. About half of the players don't wear shoulder pads.

Also, neck guards? WTF?

take a slap shot on the mouth, you'll change your mind...

I don't see why comments are required for someone who wants to protect, or even overprotect themselves.

Some only wear visors in my leagues - that's the minimum. But most wear full cage.

caught our eye.

Well far be it for me to question "I read it somewhere" vs the official NHL stat page.

Career 37% in shootouts...fak me

- Fountain-San

Most do, yes. Several do not and those are scary. But it's also the puck deflecting or whatever, through the fault of nobody in particular.

right on!
