I hate you.. Learn to keep your sticks down and play responsibly... This has been a Public Service Announcement.
That's the breaks of going without a cage. I too wear only a half shield, but I recognize that I'm taking the risk and don't whine about it when I get clipped once in a while. **** happens on the ice and even the best of players get their sticks up once in a while.
Sorry to hear about your injury though.
This was during the warm up from my own team!
I have all my teeth, no scaring on my face, and a ****-eating grin.
Wear a cage = no problems
In a pickup game I play goal in, a shield wearing player yelled at a guy to keep his stick down (his stick was actually hit by another player, but yeller dude didn't know that bit).
The guy who runs the pickup game happened to be on the ice at the time, and yelled at the yeller "Get a cage!" And that was the end of that.
Seems pretty no-brainer to me - if you care even a little bit about your face, wear a cage.
No, it's the fault of the person who's stick got up. But you're the one with the scar. I guess if it's worth it feel all superior with a cut up face and missing teeth, then have at 'er. Your choice.but yet somehow its our fault for getting hit in the face with their sticks.

Stuff happens, though. People shouldn't crash their cars into other people's cars, but it doesn't mean I don't drive defensively or wear a seatbelt.

If it is that big of an issue put a cage back on eh.
No ****, but you don't blame the person who got high sticked. That's dumb. And if everyone keeps their sticks down, nobody gets a scar.
But sticks will come up no matter how hard guys try. Pucks get deflected, collisions happen, etc.
The solution is a cage. You can't control what other people do so protect yourself.
Cage wearers always try to convince non cage wearers to put one on. They need to focus more time on keeping their stick down than trying to be everyone's dad.Again, no ****, I know things will happen. It still doesn't mean that it's ok to swing your stick wherever. It's on YOU to keep your stick down, not on me to armor my face so that you can sling your stick wherever you want.
