Western Hockey League (WHL) players will be required to wear neck guards starting this week.
The league announced its mandatory neck guard protection policy will go into effect on Nov. 3, or as soon as the equipment is available to teams.
“All WHL players will be required to wear protective neck guard equipment at all times while participating in on-ice activities, including WHL games and practices,” the WHL said in a news release Wednesday. The league noted, however, that it could face some challenges in acquiring neck guards from licensed suppliers due to increased demand following the death of Adam Johnson.B.C.
