Isn't it the NHLPA that has stood in the way of mandatory visors? I had thought that was the case, anyway...and if that's true, then the league isn't really to blame. In fact, the NHL would probably *rather* see players in helmets and visors, since it would seem to cut down on typical risk that rich people and bureaucrats don't like to have to deal with.
That's a fair point in regard to visors. Both sides have been dragging their feet for years. The PA has to deal with the fact that most of their membership are peak physical specimens in their 20s who don't necessarily have the broadest view of their own health and safety.
