Breaking: Four Pittsburgh Penguins Wear Neck Protection
After the tragic passing of Adam Johnson, there has been speculation about whether players in the NHL will start wearing neck guards.
Four Penguins Players Wear Neck Guards
The Pittsburgh Penguins held a practice earlier today, and four players were seen wearing neck guards: Pettersson, Karlsson, Eller, and Graves.
"Pettersson, Karlsson, Eller, and Graves in neck protection sleeves for @penguins at Thursday practice."
It's great to see some players leading the change. The Penguins, as Adam Johnson's former team, have to step up in player safety measures, and other teams also need to do so.
