Q. Are full cages allowed in the NHL?
Unless recovering from injury, it’s against the rules in the NHL to wear full cage. The reduction in weight and slight increase in visibility is something that’s going to allow you to play at a higher level (we would assume, not sure if it has been studied).
Q. Can NHL players wear full face mask?
Only a full-face shield or cage could have prevented that injury. The league and Players’ Association only two years ago mandated visors for incoming players, but there could be a day in the distant future when full facial protection like in youth, college and women’s hockey, is commonplace in the NHL.
