Getting high stick night in, night out, losing teeth on the regular, and getting a puck or skate to the face that could end your career (or worse), sure doesn't seem like it just to be macho.
But as said in your post. Likely isn't going to happen until it's too late, and a 'Bill Masterson' happens.

Its actually illegal to wear full face shields!
They can only be worn in the case of injury.
How backwards is that.
