It's a weird mix. You'll see a guy wearing a cage and t-shirt, then you'll have a guy like me that wears elbow pads and a jersey but also wears a visor and no mouthguard. Bunch of amateurs.
One of my guys is a total sacrifice the body type, wears a flak jacket/shoulder pad combo, elbow pads, cage, etc.

I believe he was entertaining the thought, I told him he should.Is your teammate going to press charges? I would.
I think they get 30$ a game each. I can understand not jumping in and stopping a little scuffle immediately, but this was an assault.Those refs don't get paid enough for that

First season out a North Park dude was wearing a legit bicycle helmet. Probably the easiest chirps of my career.It's a weird mix.

Of course I would. I'm not a mamby pamby...I've come to work with some injuries before, it happens...chicks dig scars...You say that now, but what if you had to go to work the next day looking like Werenski?

This is right. As a ref, I've been instructed if a fight happens and you don't think you can reasonably and safely break it up, just let it play out...it's not your job to break up fights (plus, that's a linesman's job anyhow )...if you feel it's necessary, you can call the po-po...but don't risk your safety to break up a fight like that...He's not a cop...I think they get 30$ a game each.

Does he mean visor...?
Amateur Hockey Thread
In high school I had the ITECH shield where it was visor on top and cage on the bottom. You could convert it to visor only if you were playing in a pickup game or whatever. That's the only context I'd use 'half shield' in.

I agree. I guess you just take it a little more personal when the emotions are running and it's your teammateThis is right.

No, but I did play in that era, so it wasn't out of turn.Were you an extra in The Mighty Ducks?In high school I had the ITECH shield where it was visor on top and cage on the bottom.

Also, our playoff game last week. We had our team jerseys for next season in a guys truck but weren't going to wear them. We were getting beat going into the 3rd so one of our guys ran out to his truck and got the jerseys; we went full MD2 and changed into them. We won the 3rd period!
Lost the game, though.

Stevie Y still has both eyes.
Not allowing beer league punks to hide behind a cage would bring the temperature of the game down.

The most dangerous punk I've played against wore no visor or cage. I don't think that's the issue.

do you guys wear shoulder pads too? I don't but the guys that wear those are so much more likely to engage in overly physical play
Amateur Hockey Thread
Nope. I wear elbow pads because I'm like 7ft tall on skates and the ground is a long way away, but I never initiate contact, just put myself in the way and let them come to me.

In roller, no. In ice, yes. In roller, I wear nothing but shin guards and a cup...no shoulders, no elbows, no visor, no nothing...
And yes, unequivocally, more pads/more reckless...seen in both organized and amateur leagues...

I don't wear a cup, I get by with compression shorts. Helmet/visor, elbow, shins.
When I eventually get back to ice I'll wear shoulder pads as I'm likely to throw myself into the boards a time or two.
