yes, because we have more padding and guards against pucks.
You can get some cheap hockey gear in Canadian Tire, but it's not as good of quality as some of the more expensive gear.
The regulations for high school sports teams vary by town, state and division. Different divisions will have different rules. Generally protective gear is more comprehensive than it was years ago.
Yes
I have some Vic Gloves that have a maple leaf on them, so I believe yes. I don't think they are in business any more.
more protective
In the 1870s, football players did not wear the protective pads that are common in modern football. Instead, they often played in minimal clothing, such as wool jerseys and knickerbockers, without any specialized protective gear. The game was much rougher, and injuries were common, but players relied on their toughness and skill rather than on padding for protection. As the sport evolved, the need for protection led to the eventual development of more advanced football gear in later years.
Ice hockey is more watched do I think ice hockey :)

hockey
I would strongly recommend using hockey pants, elbow pads, and shoulder pads for hockey. Ice hockey puck weighs more than twice the weight of an inline hockey puck and it can do damage if your not protected. Falling down on ice is not so nice either. It depends what your playing; completive ice hockey get all the protection you can, rec-league hockey its not as important. Other than the things above most other equipment is good to use like gloves, shin pads, and helmet.
