Full face shields are expected to be mandatory in Junior A leagues by mid-December. This is something to keep in mind when you hear news such as this breaking information about full face shields being mandated for players in Junior A hockey leagues. As of the 2020-21 campaign, full face shields were made mandatory below the Junior A level, but this new step is another step toward making the game safer. It affects organizations including the Canadian Junior Hockey League, which governs leagues such as the Alberta Junior League and Saskatchewan Junior League. If full face shields help curb those remaining stupid fights, so be it.
