| Helmet |
| Helmets in hockey have only been around since the early 60’s. Some players even till the early 90’s still played without a helmet. It is even more odd to think that goalies didn’t wear masks until 1940. The first was by a goalie named Jacque Plante. The Montreal Canadians goaltender was the first |

| Fighting with or without Helmets? |
| There as been a lot of talk about banning fighting all together in hockey. From the junior leagues all the way up through the NHL. The reason so many people want to see fighting gone is because it causes many injuries to players.
Last year a player in Canada died because another player knocked |

It seems like sticks are getting more and more expensive, but are breaking a lot more as well. From my |

| Rules 1-1 |
| There has been a lot of talk about some of the new rules that the NHL has placed.
The one rule that stands out the most is the 2 minute delay of game if a player flips the puck over the boards in their end. Sometimes I do not understand it nor do I think it is really necessary.

| Has hockey equipment changed a lot during the past 10 years or so? Yea I think so. Do any of you crazy hockey nuts remember when Nike first came on the seen like 13 years ago with the white Nike skate? The Ignite skate and the aluminum stick?
I think Gretzky was the first to try the Nike stuff out. |

| I wouldn’t say this is their best looking glove on the market, but RBK is going in the right direction. The glove is good, and very comfortable, and it does feel nice as well.
The weight of the glove is great, and your hands stay cool which is very good. Their 08 model wasn’t very good at this. |
