Visor vision

One.

That was the number of guys I counted in this week’s class who were wearing visors.

And that one person is me.

One.

That’s how many guys scrimmaging at a local rink last night were wearing visors.

So the question is: should I be wearing a full cage? Am I taking an abnormally high risk?

My decision to wear a visor came from three factors.

  1. My neighbour Frank who was one of the main motivators in getting me to take the course wears a visor.
  2. I don’t want to look like Hayley Wickenhieser.
  3. I want to wipe my visor like Alfie does.

So the question is, am I being stupid and taking a risk that may ultimately leave me blinded and with huge dental bills?

How far does one take safety precautions? Afterall, I could stumble and fall on the street and end up in a vegetable state. But I wouldn’t consider wearing a helmet to walk to the corner store.

What do you think? Half-Visor or Full Cage

A note about ‘The Rocket’

A few people have asked me what's up with the image at the top of the page. Well, it's an image courtesy of Marc Audet. Along with being a weird hybrid Calgary Flames and Ottawa Senators fan, he is also one of the region's top illustrators. You can check out more of his work at Rocket 57
