WHEN BRAD MARSH (EX FLYER) WENT FROM WEARING A HELMET (AFTER
SUFFERING A SEIZURE FROM HITTING THE BOARDS HEAD ON) TO GOING HELMET-
LESS AGAIN, HE SAID THAT HE FELT MORE SECURE WITHOUT THE HELMET!.  HE
FELT THAT THE PLAYERS COMING OUT OF SCHOOL WERE TOO CARELESS WITH THEIR
STICK - DUE TO THE FACT THAT PLAYERS WERE WEARING HELMETS AND HEAD
INJURIES WERE UNCOMMON.  HE FELT THAT WHEN THE OTHER PLAYERS SAW HIM
WITHOUT A HELMET, THAT THEY CONTROLLED THEIR STICK BETTER.  OF COURSE
COLLEGIATE HOCKEYS MAIN GOAL SHOULD BE TO PROTECT THE STUDENT ATHELETE,
AND NOT CONCERN ITSELF WITH THE PRO'S.  IT BRINGS ABOUT A POINT - WOULD
YOU BELIEVE A MAN WHO DIDN'T WEAR A HELMET!
