God forbid they sneeze inside these things... LOL
No new gear yet. Just retrofitting last years gear for practice. HOpefully, if they do play, this will be something they can take off by the time the season starts...

i believe they've gotten rid of all the hits to the head with the new rules the last several years.
They're basically acetate, so they're not going to shatter, but they will fog unless you modify them as described above.LaxPundit07 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 4:06 pm No chance I would wear that as a goalie. That thing will absolutely shatter when it takes a 95 mph shot off the face mask. Did they consider that?
I agree. I doubt they’ll shatter as well. I do think they’ll snap at the holes drilled for the zip tie and the top attachment point at the rear. The mask will flex and break. Even more so in the winter and early spring when it’s freezing.smoova wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 4:31 pmThey're basically acetate, so they're not going to shatter, but they will fog unless you modify them as described above.LaxPundit07 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 4:06 pm No chance I would wear that as a goalie.

Other than talking in a huddle, I don’t see the value of masks outside. Even in a huddle, I am not sure how much of a virus load a person would receive from an infected/asymptomatic person.
When my son's club team sent out the offer to purchase these through their team store, they explicitly said that Cascade hadn't tested the shield's ability to limit or reduce virus spread. Completely all about optics and mitigating legal claims.
Agreed, good business move. Short term revenue as well.
I purchased a package of these shields for my 9 year old and we removed it 20 minutes in to his first practice with it when he could no longer see through it. Having said that my family is heavily involved in club (coaches and players) and we have yet to see any COVID issues (we are in MD) with all the outdoor practices and tournaments since it picked back up in July (fingers crossed).Unknown Participant wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 10:27 pmAgreed, good business move.

Whenever there is clear plastic/acetate/glass covering the eyes/face it is not good. Fog city. I lived it as a HS player before getting contacts senior year (going on the ice every hockey shift basically blind until the air flow let me see). In lacrosse, it was bad on humid/rainy days mostly. But watch NHLers, they wipe their visors after every shift on the bench. After NCAA hockey, what a relief to take the cage/visor off and see the ice like never before (it was beer league, but fun nonetheless).
We scuba divers have a variety of excellent anti-fog products!Unknown Participant wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 10:27 pmAgreed, good business move. Short term revenue as well.

I'm sure, but did you have them in 79-80?Drcthru wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 6:47 pmWe scuba divers have a variety of excellent anti-fog products!Unknown Participant wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 10:27 pmAgreed, good business move. Short term revenue as well.
