Truth to be told… This happened before I was born, but still once in a while, I think of how the game has changed during the years. Andy Brown was the last goalie to play without facial protection.
Ironically, during his playing career, Brown wore a mask in practice because he didn’t want to take “unnecessary risks,” but refused to don one during actual games. For playing without a mask, Brown earned the nickname “Fearless“.
These days I’m even thinking about wearing a helmet when playing pond hockey. The game has evolved and in some ways, for the better.
