The Calgary Flames face the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024 (10/13/24) at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta.
Edmonton Oilers center Leon Draisaitl and Florida Panthers defenseman Brandon Montour go after the puck during the third period of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. DENVER — At first, the protective undershirt resembling a mock turtleneck was hot and uncomfortable. It even caused Jayson Megna’s visor to fog up.
The death of Johnson was a horrific reminder of the risks. The former NHL player was cut in the neck during a game andGuidelines exist for many youth programs in North America and beyond, but not at the highest levels of hockey, where league and players' union leaders have discussed the topic for years.
“Obviously, there’s things that people should do, but I think we’re stuck in our ways, also," said New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes, who added he doesn’t wear nearly enough protective equipment. “Got to be comfortable.” “It doesn’t cost me much" to wear protective neck gear, Bellemare said. “Come on, it’s a neck guard. That’s not going to change my season. I’m not going score 70 because I have a neck guard or not.”
Megna also wears cut-proof socks, which prevented a possible calf or Achilles injury last season when a player stepped on him with a skate blade.
