Reminds me of when helmets and goalie masks became required equipment.

 

Gump Worsley was the last NHL goalie to play mask-less (and helment-less) in 1974.

 

Craig MacTavish was the last NHL player to play without a helmet. He retired in 1997.

Can you add more question marks please.   Otherwise this is an unimportant thread and it should be locked.

I would think so too, but of course they're not refusing to wear them in camp......

 

And I think the NFLPA would be in favor of anything that benefitted them monetarily, if the opportunity arose

 

Where is the monetary benefit for them?

The pads around the helmet are actually mandatory during camp now. This creates a philosophical dilemma and maybe a possible legal dilemma down the road, one would think, if the NFL is essentially admitting that those pads are needed for safety, why are they not mandatory all the time?

 

Since the $750 million concussion lawsuit, everything and anything that has to do with helmets and head injury/safety is coordinated and agreed upon by both the NFL and the NFLPA. If they're mandatory in preseason it's because both sides agreed they should be. And if they're not mandatory or an option during the season, rest assured the decision has been made and agreed to by both sides.

Not sure about that, but I saw the padding they put on helmets during TC. Pretty standard for all teams now. Wondering if they do that to prevent head injury during camp if that's something they will try and incorporate down the road for games. 

High schools are using them to for practices, and probably others levels.  It seems this kind of protection could be inside the helmet.  Or maybe someone will invent a leather helmet …

I don't think these are mandatory.

I was mostly indifferent to the topic, but then I saw all the question marks and it sparked my interest. 

 

They should do it.

14 question marks is the minimum. This post has 15. It's kosher.

Dodson wants to know how much air resistance they have when swinging… for research purposes only.

Mark Kelso is a pretty bright guy to this day. Maybe he was onto something...

Believe it or not, the Sabres had one of the last maskless goalies: Joe Dailey.
