Full Face Shields In Process of Going Away, In Favor of 3/4 Shields

Quote:
There are few issues that you will get every coach in college hockey to agree upon. Eliminating the mandate for full face shields is one of them.

As far back as 30 years ago, when the requirement was implemented, coaches have been against the NCAA-mandated use of full face shields. But now, for the first time, college hockey is close to eliminating the requirement.

The NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Committee is planning to formally recommend, at its June meetings in Indianapolis, that college hockey change from full shields to three-quarter visors. The recommendation will go to the NCAA's Committee of Competitive Safeguards, where college hockey will have a chance to further make its case.

Chilly maybe you can help me out with this... wtf is a 3/4 shield? Is it just a big visor like heatley wears? or they just call visors a 3/4 shield for the hell of it?

Full shields prevent gory facial injuries. They should be mandatory at every level of hockey all the way up to the NHL. This would be a major step backwards if it goes through.

pretty much yes it's a dany heatley shield, but it may go down a little bit further than heatley's does, like to the bottom lip. but idk exactly the length of far down the face it will have to be, especially due to everyone not having the same size head.
