vwnuck Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I know some people find them uncomfortable. I tried one but just couldn't use it, it actually made me more scared than my helmet that didn't have one when playing beer league so I went back to my one without the visor.

n00bxQb Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Why are they making people wear visors? Why is it even a debate? When it comes to choice vs. having to do something, I think the former should prevail. I'm all for keeping the games safe but nobody should be forced to do anything. If a player wants to risk an eye injury or whatever, that should be his decision and his decision alone. Not a HUGE deal but I just felt like ranting.

Canvoucer Vanuck Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 If that's the case, the player should have to shell out for insurance, not the team or the government when they get hurt on the job because of their own foolishness ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Can Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Players are forced to wear visors (or cages) all the way up to the NHL, at least in north america, right? So I don't get the issue with grandfathering it in. It's not like its some brand new thing they have to get comfortable with. I know it seems like it should be a matter of choice, but when your getting payed millions of dollars to play, the guys paying have every right to protect you. Wouldn't you want to protect your investments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kacvan Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 agreed, make it like the helmet rule, all new players entering the league need to wear it, anyone who was in the league before has the option not to, after signing a waiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
