New Helmets

[BF4L]

So I am interested in hearing some responses and thoughts. Of course this is regarding the multiple head injuries in the NHL.

I tend to think that removing helmets all together would be better as players would need to show some respect. In college we wore full face shields and felt like tanks running around.

Anyways have a read.

I used to think no helmets might help too, but the game just keeps getting faster. Players wouldn't stand a chance against the average speed of these pucks nowadays, imo.

Welcome!

I would be perfectly fine with any equipment that keeps the players doing what they do best. I hesitate when rules get changed, but whadduyagonnadoo?!

They should try the new helmets. No helmets would be disastrous. There's too many guys who refuse to adapt their game. With no helmets think about those hits along the boards when the guys head bounces off the glass.

To correct. I was just saying the no helmet thing as a way to start off the conversation. I do not think it is a good solution anymore with the speed and power these guys have now.
