Report: NHL to streamline goalie pants; chest protectors delayed
by from on (#1TRZS)
NHL goalies will wear form-fitting, streamlined pants this season, reports TSN's Bob McKenzie.
Further changes, particularly to the chest protector and upper body protection, have been delayed, but could be introduced mid-season.
In August, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman deemed the changes "a work in progress." Initially, the league hoped to introduce all of the equipment changes at the World Cup.
