Went threw three years of junior with no cage on and never lost any chompers. Last year I was playing mens league and literally as I was scoring a goal right in front of the net, dude went to stick lift me and missed my stick and hit me directly in the teeth. Lost a few good soldiers that day. I was pretty steamed. All in all that was about 5 trips to the dentist and about 6 grand to get fixed. Luckily they were able to save the roots and I just had to get new crowns.
... I wear a bubble now.
In general, the less skilled/competitive the league, the more insane high sticking goes on. People in your junior program probably knew how to control their sticks much better. I have a guy on my team in beer league who insists on playing without a cage or visor. He got high sticked in the nose this past Sunday pretty hard.
