NHL sends memo about wearing helmets in pregame warmups
NeutralSports
- The NHL has issued a memo to all 32 teams regarding a rule that mandates certain players to wear helmets during pregame warmups. This memo, sent on Tuesday night, specifies that players who joined the NHL before 2019 have the option to choose whether to wear a helmet or not.
- This development is significant as it reflects the league's ongoing commitment to player safety, particularly in warmup situations where injuries can occur. The grandfather clause allows veteran players to maintain their personal preferences while aligning newer players with safety protocols.
