That's the thing that I don't understand. Every player in the NHL today had to wear at least a visor in every game he played prior to the NHL. You were good enough to get to the NHL with a visor, why would you stop?


In fact, I believe the NHL is the only league/tournament in the world where you can play without a visor (players born before December 31, 1974 can play in IIHF events without a visor, but there aren't many of those guys left).
