The NHL changed the requirements for a new, smaller chest protector for all NHL goalies. Most goalies have had to adjust or change this valuable piece of equipment entirely to meet the new guidelines.
The change was made in an effort to keep all goalies on an equal playing field. The chest protectors are to become smaller and more form fitting which has caused some goalies to voice their shout how safe this is and most of their opinions are not positive.
Florida Panthers James Reimer is not happy with the change of chest protector he is forced to wear now.
