Players bumping helmets after wins and with the goalies after a block have been traditions for as long as hockey has been around. It is their way for showing support and congratulating each other.

It's just a tradition congratulating a goalie on a job well done. Most players will give the goalie's leg pads a thump.

Did hockey goalies always wear helmets?

If you mean helmets, as in American football helmets, the answer is no. This is because they would simply be too heavy! American footballers can wear them because the game is stop/start and one player doesnt play a full game because they have attacking/defending teams. If you mean a scrum-cap, then yes rugby players probably should, if they play in the scrum, it will stop their ears from becoming deformed, but many players outside of the scrum wear them too.


What age does a hockey player hit prime?

Opinion:Most often hockey players between 25 and 35 are in peak form. Any younger and they are not as strong and don't have as much experience. Any older and they start to slow down compared to the younger players. Some players hit their prime earlier, while some maintain their form longer, but this is generally the age range.
