Best Answer

Yes and No, Goalies in the NHL do NOT have to wear one As the "NHL Rules" only said that "Goaltenders are highly suggested to wear a sort of protective helmet" which means they don't have to if they don't want to. But if they come into the game with one they must wear it during the game but if they show up without one no one can stop him from playing because of it. But players do.

How would a World War 1 gas mask work?

The technology at the time would have been relatively primitive, and masks ranged from chemical-impregnated pouches attached to the full-face precursors to modern gas masks. For example, the french 'Tampon T' is a multi-layered fabric pouch with a face strap. It was usually issued with goggles to protect the wearers eyes. Full face gas masks tended to have asbestos-based filters and worked relatively well. Of course these days the asbestos will have degraded and it is VERY dangerous to wear such a mask unless the filter has been drilled out.

What was the society of the Iroquois medicine men?

The best known of the medicine societies (but certainly not the only one*) was the False Face Society, members of which used wooden masks often painted half red and half black, with very long black horsehair attached. These masks refer to a mythical hunchbacked old man and the masks were always carved with grotesque and distorted features.Each of the Iroquois tribes had their own name for this society, usually referring to the mythical Old Man rather than "false face".*Among the Senecas, for example, medicine men might belong to the False Face Society, or to the Secret Medicine Society (also known as the Little Water Medicine Society).
