Rock and Roll I mean the cages will never die

So here’s what we have all been waiting for, a comparison of before and after the face mask rules. Again, as stated over and over again, if the rules were cross Canada and not just in BC all the backlash would be settled by now. There was a memo out there saying that next year, not this fall, all junior B teams across Canada will use the cages. 

Hockey Canada and BC Hockey clearly dropped the ball on this IMO all they had to do was make it fair.

Oddly enough Hockey Canada will not be forcing junior A to wear the cages even though they undisputedly (according to this) make the game safer. And they wouldn’t dare try and tell the CHL how to live.

So if a Jr A guy loses his teeth can he sue HC for not putting in obvious safety rules to protect him, like wearing hard hats, glasses  and steel toed boots in the workplace... the CHL is in court as we speak with a lawsuit claiming they are essentially a workplace that should pay minimum wage. 

There is not full section on concussions and I’m pretty sure the teams were not asked if the number of concussions went up last season.  The only way they would know is if there was a claim put in. But I don’t know if every concussion results in a claim, sometimes the player just misses games... or not.

Anyway, like it or not, it’s clear the cages are here to stay
