The NHL has taken a lot of criticism over some of their decisions and rightly so for the most part. But one issue the League has been trying to work on is player's safety after the recent raise in head shots and concussion symptoms.
The NHL is implementing some new rules that they believe is going to make the game safer for the players, this comes from 32 Thoughts podcast host Jeff Marek who was recently quoted as saying:
that he believes the NHL could enforce full face shields in the attempt to lower facial injuries.
If you've followed any level of hockey you'll know that full face shields have become the norm in most leagues from Tier 2 JR A down, the news about the possibility of implementing face shields at the NHL level isn't surprising, however one has to believe it may be difficult to implement.

Many years ago the league started to require new players coming into the league to wear visors while current players were grandfathered to the old rule and allowed them to wear them if they did choose.
It will be interesting to see, yes we want all players to be safe as possible but if a full face shield rule comes into the League, this would be the end of fighting in the League and I don't think many fans are players would like that.
