They can, they just choose not to. It's mainly a macho hockey thing - anyone who wore one would be considered wuss, as those players who wear even the half visors are (especially when they leave them on for fights, as Matt Cooke did when Shawn Thornton challenged him over his hit on Marc Savard last year). Players might also give the reason that the full cage obstructs vision and the full glass masks are prone to fogging up. But they are definitely allowed to wear them - sometimes after a player has broken a nose or cheekbone you see them wear a full shield when they come back. See for example Zdeno Chara: http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/chara.jpg

What equipment are soccer players required to wear?
Soccer players must wear a shirt, shorts, socks, shin guards and shoes. Lets look in depth just a bit. Law 4 of the Laws of the Game mandates players wear a jersey or shirt. And shorts. Teams wear matching duds. And both keepers wear something different from the players of either team and from each other and the officials. The shin guards must be "made of a suitable material" and must "provide a reasonable degree of protection" per the rules. Socks or stockings must be pulled up to cover the shin guards. No player may wear anything that is dangerous to himself or another player, and the footwear is inspected to insure any features that provide an increase in traction are "safe" and appropriate. There is a bit more detail offered in the Laws of the Game, and a link is provided.
