Nope. The NZIHF implemented that rule.
AFAIK NZ was unique in enforcing mouth guards across the board.
they do restrict breathing and communication which probably makes them more dangerous than not wearing one

[/quote:2x8t92uv]I highly doubt that.
Having said that, I have absolutely no intention of wearing a mouthguard, they’re horrible.
All I know is that my teeth would be in far better shape if I had worn a mouthgaurd more often. It helps when you get a properly fitted one
Yeah all you guys complaining about mouth guards probably wearing the $5 model from the warehouse right.
Well if you invest a bit of cash (and I admit they are expensivish) you can pick up a properly fitted mouthguard from a dentist, and you can talk and you can breathe and it feels just like you not wearing one at all.
Is that why there isn’t a lot of communication on the ice? I didn’t know it was the mouthguards stopping players for talking heaps!

[/quote:3pyl1n40]Why do those with properly fitted mouthguards still sound like they’ve had a lobotomy?
the problem with getting a dentist fit mouthguard is that they cost about $100 or more. So lets assume you are wearing it when you are out on the ice, as soon as you get off the ice, bhecause you were skating so hard, you are gasping for breath and after a mouthfull of water, the easiest way to go about this is to take you mouthguard out and put it either on the bench or on the boards (where the drink bottes go). now suppose you forget to put it back in, which is quite often the case, especially at the end of the game. now suppose you get off the ice into the changing rooms and back off home and your $100 mouthguard is still on the bench. Whats the bet that the rink staff would recoginise it as being an expensive mouthguard and not throw it out?
yea right! im not wasting my money on another $100 mouthguard! or even $40 shock doctor. a $5 is the best bet because if you lose it its only $5.Isn’t like $100 for the mouthguard, but only $5 for each extra ones since they already have the mold to make it from?
Yeah, and I am not sure of the merits of buying cheap crappy mouthguards as opposed to expensive yet great mouthguards, based on your inability to remember you have taken it out of your mouth.
The same logic should dicatate you buying only $100 cars Thirteen seeing as every car you have you crash so instead of losing $10000 you lose $100
