Fans of hockey history are used to seeing old-time heroes from the "Original Six" era- Gordie Howe, Rocket Richard, and Bobby Hull, for example- playing without helmets, and it wasn't until the mid-1970s that the majority of NHL players had adopted head protection as a vital piece of equipment. But the hockey helmet was actually introduced decades earlier, when George Owen, who played for the Boston Bruins during the 1928-29 season, became the first professional hockey player to regularly wear a helmet. Over the course of the ensuing 40 years, many individual players wore leather helmets for a period, often after an injury, but most players found the primitive helmets uncomfortable and hot. Others felt that wearing a helmet was not manly and robbed a player of his individual flair on the ice.
Decades of research has shown the importance of avoiding concussions, however, and this knowledge has led to great technological leaps forward in both protective materials and design. Today's hockey helmets are not only comfortable and stylish, but they also provide unparalleled protection from the many kinds of impacts that can occur during a hockey game. Incorporating high-tech foam padding and ingenious design, the latest helmets from CCM are built to meet the needs of hockey players at all levels.
