I would like to see NCAA go to the half sheild, I am not saying go with out
eye protection.
In the NHL players that wear shields also take crap from the players that
don't wear them.
If you read the denver post article it quotes Chris Drury and his opinion of
the mask and he is not the only person that has said this. Former UND player
Perry Berrizan (sp) also brought up the same points about the Mask, as being
one of the major difference between the NHL and NCAA. Are we supposed to
just discount what they said?
