Following the tragic death of Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson, NHL players T.J. Oshie and Yanni Gourde have opted to wear neck guards, highlighting the gear's importance for safety. Ontario University Athletics (OUA) has made neck guards mandatory in men's hockey, and a coroner has insisted on their necessity to prevent future deaths. However, USA Hockey's decision to only 'recommend' neck guards has raised questions, with its chief medical officer explaining their stance.
