In minor hockey, I remember ripping my neck guard off on the way to the dressing room. I despised of them.

I am yet to see someone wear one in a mens rec league game or tournament.

I also believe that a full cage is going to make a reckless player that much worse, I'd rather have a cut or some lost teeth than a head injury.

Nothing stopping NHL players from wearing this stuff.
