Few high school players wear neck guards. And many leagues do not even require one. As a full contact sport ice hockey should be treated with the respect and caution it deserves. There are many types of neck guards available today and surely there is one out there that would suit every player. Even the old trick of wearing the top of a turtle neck sweater would be better than nothing. The recent accident with NHL Florida Panther Richard Zednik has brought the importance of sport safety to the forefront again. It is very easy to loss amongst the fun and hard work of athletics that there is a certain amount of danger. It is possible to send Mr. Zednik your support on the Florida Panthers website.
