Stricter rules .cut hockey injurie
Eleven amateur hockey playerS
were medically blinded last year
compared with 42 during the
1974-75 season, according to Dr,
Tom Pashby, a Toronto
ophthalmologist and member of
time Canadian ' ,Standards
Association (CSA). This is a
reduction of 75 per cent, while
overall eye injtiries decreased by
65 per cent, to 88 from 253
reported cases.
Dr. Pashby attributes the
decrease to the Canadian
Amateur Hockey Association's
(CAHA) stricter rules on high
sticking and the increasing use of
face protectors. He° is a member
of CSA's technical committee on
protective equipment for hockey
and lacrosse players, which
recently published a standard on
eye and teeth protectors for
hockey forwards and
defencemen, CSA is now testing
' face masks to the standard and
certified protectors should begin
to appear on the marketplace this
winter,
The „ protectors must endure
torture tests at CSA's Rexdale,
' Ontario, laboratories before
, certification is granted. The
masks will be ciaoled to a
temperature of -20 degrees C and
then a puck, with the force of 60
foot pounds, will crash down on
the protector. 1£ the protector
cracks, it fails the test.
Optical tests will also be carried
out, to ensure that players can' see
adequately when wearing the
masks. The standard covers both
clear plastic and mesh protectors.
and the spaces in the mesh
protectors must be sufficiently
small so that the blade of a hockey
'stick cannot penetrate the mask.
"I think it's very important that
CSA has a standard to measure
these products in order to keep
junk off the marketplace,"
explains Dr. Pashby. "There
have been adequate wire mesh
protectors with openings large
enough to, allow a stick through,
CSA certification will also give
the CAHA a reason to make the
wearing of CSA certified
protectors mandatory." ,
Several hockey leagues, such
as the Ontario Minor Hockey
Association have already made
face protectors mandatory, which
Dr. Pashby believes has led to the
dramatic decrease in hockey eye
injuries.
In the 1974-75 season, most eye
injuries occurred to those in the
11415 years age group, while last
season, two-thirds of the injured
players were 16-years of age or
over. This is because the younger
players are wearing protectors,
but many of the older ones are
not," says Dr. Pashby, "I can see

Tournament at the Brussels Lawn
Bowling Club on Tuesday were:

into a restaurant, took his place
on a vacant stool and ordered

next to him asked:.
"On a diet?"
"No, commission."
us being able to get the figure of
11 eyes medically blinded and 88
eye injuries down to zero if
everyone wore face protectors."

"Any big men born around
here?" a tourist asked in a
condescending tone.
"None", responded the elderly
native. "Best we can do is babies.
It's different in the city I
suppose."
