Doesn't look much different from a headband, which a lot of players wear. And maybe some good players who are not in concussion protocol would start wearing one, just as a statement. How many years has it been, now, since helmets became required for batters, catchers, and even baserunners in baseball? Amateur boxers have long worn helmets, as do lacrosse players. Once upon a time it was considered wimpish to wear a helmet in the NHL (although the college game was way ahead of the pros). And before Jacques Plante, even goalies wore no protection for their faces and heads. I don't care if the men reject helmets. I think WCBB should have this on their agenda this off-season. Geno is often a leader in rules innovation. I hope he leads on this one. [/QUOTE]
