sonsplayhockey 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 I heard that the neck guards most youth players wear is under some contention. Some say it has the potiential to drive the blade higher up into the neck where its impact is more dangerous. Anyone hear of any real data on the subject?

Some say it has the potiential to drive the blade higher up into the neck where its impact is more dangerous. Anyone hear of any real data on the subject? It was mentioned several years in a row that there were evidently two cases of that happening and USAH will not require neckguards in case it happens again. Both times that came from USAH people at my ref clinics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted November 24, 2005 I've only ever seen it to the point that he rolls over and you see the first bit of red on the ice...I've never seen that much of it before.That was...what...4-6 seconds worth of video...must been an eternity for the guys standing there basically watching the guy die. And even longer for Clint.From what I recall....the Ref (or trainer...can't remember) grabbed his neck with a towel to apply pressure. They said at the time..if he hadn't been at the zamboni end of the rink...he would've been dead be the time he got to centre. That guy basically saved his life.And, yeah...he was a mess for years after that. Can you imagine 90 minutes of stitching and 300 stitches. I can't believe the number of goalies who don't wear that hanging neck gaurd. Hard to believe that hasn't happened more than once (top that degree, I mean).
