NHL provides update on potential of making neck guards mandatory at the NHL level
While making an appearance on NHL Network radio, Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said that the league is in talks with the NHLPA in regards to the use of neck guards.
Daly also mentioned that the National Hockey League is 'strongly recommending their players to use neck guards in games going forward, but as of right now, it's still up to an individual if they want to wear one or not.
This news comes amid the tragic loss of former NHL forward Adam Johnson, who had his neck cut by a skate during an EIHL game in England over the weekend.
Johnson's passing has brought the neck guard issue to the spotlight in many leagues and national governing bodies over the last few days, with the English Ice Hockey Association and some AHL clubs mandating their players wear them.
