bunnyman666 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I actually took a shot from a 12 year old that stung in my glove. The other goalie said the same thing. This kid had a GREAT release. I would hate to face him when he matures more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting in speaking with coaches and players in the area, no one seems to think there is a concern for goalies related to pucks to the mask and concussions. Hockey is a huge part of my family, but if my 11 year-old suffered multiple concussions already at that age, I would seriously consider stopping hockey for him and looking into another sport. I think once you already suffer one or two, it usually just goes down-hill from there. The best masks in the world can only help so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, there is a bit of leeway. At 12? My kid is playing chess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 So the thought of a soft outer shell instead of a hard one is probably that crazy? https://www.inc.com/kevin-j-ryan/vicis-zero1-helmet-earns-top-two-spots-nfl-safety-test.html?cid=hmside1 https://www.beam.vt.edu/helmet/contact.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Znowleopard Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Btw ive been thinking about the different foams that people/companies put in masks, and really i don't know the difference, as far as i know there isnt a study done on how effective the different foams are compared to each other, so having endless amounts of time on my hands at the moment ive been coming up with a way to test the different foams. if there is interest, i could make it a project on here and maybe with some help come up with some useful results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, I am the champion that something Jason Kelce for a lineman does not apply to Marc-Andre Fleury. However, the idea of something that absorbs the pucks impact that is soft makes empirical sense. I would love to see this tried in hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cringe any time I see anything related to VT and hockey. Their helmet ratings are a joke based on a flawed study. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raucebyalien Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I think this was the initial thinking behind the Wall Pro Active (or W4 as it is now) - that a softer, rubberised shell would diffuse, rather than pass on, impact. having held one, the outer shell has a slight give to it similar to if you pressed your thumbnail into a puck.

Scythe Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 How about some sort of Hans device that the race car drivers are wearing that goalies could wear or neck rolls. I wore neck rolls [80's] on my high school football shoulder pads and remember a couple NHL'ers in the 80's or early 90's that wore neck rolls. Would probably be too radical of an addition with mobility concerns in mind but could and probably would help with the whiplash effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythe Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I'm thinking back to my hockey cards.. i think there was someone on the Blackhawks that wore one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that would probably be too restrictive . Oops sorry i thought you quoted me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
