Hockey Canada Makes Controversial Decision and Players Aren't Happy

Hockey Canada has made another controversial decision and it has divided the public.

It was recently announced that the nine Junior A hockey leagues in Canada will be requiring new players to wear a full-face covering helmet.

The players will have two options for what they wear, a bubble or a cage. Both have their advantages and their disadvantages.

A bubble covers the full face of the player and allows for full vision but also fogs up quickly.

A cage on the other hand does not fog up at all but does not offer full vision as the bars often get in the way.

There is a hybrid full-face mask which is a combination of the two that tries to combat fogging while also giving a full field of vision

However, these are quite expensive and there is no number one go-to yet.

With this now reaching the best leagues not in the CHL, we could soon see every player playing in junior hockey sporting a full face covering.
