Who should wear a visor when playing hockey?

EVERYONE should wear a visor when playing hockey.

Everyone...including children as well as adults....and professional hockey players.  In addition to ice hockey...eye protection is just as essential when playing informal pick-up games, including road hockey and floor hockey.

In Canada...we have been keeping careful statistics on eye injuries for over thirty years.  When eye protection became mandatory in children's hockey...a dramatic and sudden decline in eye injuries was noted.

In fact...there has NEVER been reported an eye injury in a player wearing a full-face mask.

Second best...but a distant second...are the half-visors.  These do not protect from a stick coming from down below.  The other problem with half-visors is that players tend to wear them incorrectly...pushed up toward the forehead...with a loose chinstrap.
