11-Million Dollar Star Joins the Cause for Neck-Guards

Tonight another NHL superstar has joined the group of players now wearing neck-guards.

Tonight during the Buffalo Sabres game fans and media noticed a massive star now wearing neck protection. Rasmus Dahlin has joined many other players in wearing a neck-guard after the Adam Johnson tragedy.

Dahlin is the biggest star to this point to wear a neck-guard in response to the tragedy. As more teams play games in the coming days we will have to see if it becomes a trend.

The WHL announced earlier today that they would be mandating neck-guards starting on Friday for all teams.

The NHL cannot officially mandate players to wear neck-guards due to the CBA. They can strongly recommend it though. During the upcoming offseason there will likely be a rule put in place to mandate the use of neck-guards in the NHL as well as most other leagues in the world.
