Helmet watch

I can’t stand it. I can’t stand it...

Push to make helmets mandatory for coaches grows:

Now a move to make head protection mandatory for coaches, trainers, and volunteers is gaining strength.

Hockey Calgary is the latest to sign on.

Last year, a goalie coach suffered a near fatal fall behind the net so this season, everyone under Hockey Calgary’s jurisdiction -- including coaches, trainers and even volunteers must wear a helmet when on the ice.

Violators of the new rule will be removed and even suspended if they refuse to wear a helmet.
