More than one of the above actually :P I have to wear one, I'm not 18 yet. But I don't. First off, it feels like shit. Second, I sweat to much wearing it, I have the feeling it blocks some of the cold air to go under my should pads you know what I mean :P ? And third, yes it looks dumb :P

Crap, I don't think I can edit that poll. I forgot to include people who have to wear them against their will.

I have heard the complaint that they get sweaty before.

no, it's uncomfortable, and I don't like how it feels

i wear it, yes it is mandatory and it is uncomfortable at first but playing hockey is fun enough that i forget about the neck guard after the first couple minutes.

[Chadd 916]

Don't need one for any reason

i have to wear it in my league

[Eazy_b97 1]

I reluctantly wear one because of my league. I hate it, it's so thick and barely fits around my neck. I had a neckguard shirt which was better, but wear UA now instead.

I have to wear it for ice but i dont wear it for roller

I wear one and as much as I don't like it, it's good for me. It's good for protection AND it keeps my head up.

Yeh but that can be a bad thing a couple of times (due to oversized body armour and huge neckguard) i have lost the puck between mylegs and been wiped out my another player because i find it difficult to find it

[zingbergeur 0]

no, and it has never crossed my mind to wear one. I've never played in a league that required it.

It's way to uncomfortable and it feels like it restricets my movement in the game....I only had one insitent where it woulda help at all..I tripped a kid and his skates cameup and slit me in the neck, nothing major or anything but stung like a bitch'

In addition to it being uncomfortable, not mandated by my league, and restricting of head movement:

Don't need one for any reason

I think I'm most worried about a puck to the throat. So when I'm trying to screen the goalie, I just bow my head down and try to use my face cage to shield my neck. Anybody else do that?

I choose to wear mine.I have a Bauer TNP Kevlar and I cant even tell its there, its so thin and comfortable.

I wear one because I have to. Just get one of those bauer ones that is basically nothing, thats what I wear.

I wear one because I remember seeing that Clint Malarchuk footage from when I was kid, I will never NOT wear one for that reason. Ya it feels like shit and everything but I have had to wear one forever so its not something new I have to get used too.

Maybe not for roller, but for ice they make sense....

Most of the neckguards that people use would not prevent a cut like Malarchuk's. They're a lot better at absorbing impacts from pucks or sticks.

A puck to the adams apple sounds pretty bad doesn't it.

Won't the kevlar neckguards prevent cuts?

How can those soft neckguards absorb impact from a puck? I always thought the opposite, and definitely correct me if im wrong, that the neckguard wouldn't do much for direct impacts but were somewhat cut resistant.
