[quote=Anonymous]Whether wearing a helmet makes the wearer more aggressive is an interesting point but, from what I've seen, the game has grown more aggressive at a pace faster than helmet uptake and I don't believe that helmets are a cause. Refs also need to do their job and to call penalties without regard to the equipment being worn (or, as I sometimes see, the relative skill of the players involved). Coaches need to instruct safety first -- especially at the early years when checking is introduced. This obviously can help, but I don't think will ever eliminate sloppy sticks around the head. At the end of the day, if wearing a helmet can protect a child from injury, I don't see a very good argument for at least allowing a helmet to be worn by those who choose to wear one. I'm not sure that mandatory helmets are coming in the near term, but I think it is probably inevitable at some point. [/quote]
