I played high school lacrosse, & I always thought it was strange women's lacrosse didn't require helmets. Sure, they aren't allowed to stick or body check like mens lacrosse, but it's really beside the point if you ask me. The point is you are hurtling a heavy rubber object through the air at high velocity. Same as hockey, of you don't have face protection and catch a full strength shot in the face/ head, you're going to get fucked up. I never played hockey, but lacrosse is just hockey on grass. I'm sure its fun as hell. But there is no way in hell I could ever be talked into playing without a full facemask. I don't care reduced vision or not. NHL players are straight up savages... and god bless them for it. They put on a hell of a show.
