Holy shit at no helmets... that's just insanity... even I couldn't be dared to attempt that...

Back in the day, even the goalies didn't wear face masks - Lol. That was insanity!! Can you imagine .... frozen rubber coming at you every game? No wonder those goalies were all scarred up and no teeth!! Jacques Plante with the Montreal Canadiens was the first to have a piece of fiberglass formed into a face mask in 1959 I believe.

Goalies like Terry Sawchuk with Detroit didn't go to the mask until later. I guess they didn't care how many stitches they got in their face?

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
