Making Hockey Safer Hockey is a popular sport in North America. Players skate across a sheet of ice. They use special sticks to pass the puck, a small disc of hard rubber. Then the players try to score by shooting the puck into the opposing goal. The game moves fast, so it can be dangerous without the right gear for protection. Fortunately, protective equipment has improved over the years. History When the National Hockey League began in 1917, players wore minimal gear. Helmets were not required. Goaltenders did not wear masks. This allowed players to see everything on the ice. However, it also increased the risk of getting hurt. Surprisingly, players were not forced to wear helmets until 1979. This was only required of new players, though. Players who had signed with the league before 1979 could choose for themselves. The last player to skate without a helmet retired in 1997. Present Today, the league is clearer on player safety. All new players in the National Hockey League have to wear a partial visor on their helmets. A visor is a clear shield that protects the eyes. The rule applies to new players and is in response to eye injuries over the years. Players who have already been in the league do not have to follow the rule. When asked why they didn’t want the added protection, some players claimed that wearing the gear makes it hard for them to see the puck clearly. Does this new rule mean that audiences will never see players without helmets shoot the puck? Not exactly. Another rule allows players to continue skating if their helmets fall off. But, once the players leave the ice, they cannot return without helmets. Goalies, however, have a different rule. If they lose their helmets, play stops immediately. The Future Each year, experts try to make hockey safer. Some of their attempts are successful, while others are not. Clearly, the league and the players need to work together to make the game safer. The debate continues over how much protection is enough.
