I always played hockey, and as a goaltender. When I started out we still were using the flat facemasks, which hurt like a mother when you got hit. Once we went to full masks with cages, throat protectors, full chest and arm protection, it opened up a whole new world. I went from always being slightly fearful of getting hit, to practically being fearless. So yeah, better equipment usually means taking bigger risks.
