Because visors suck? They fog up and if they get wet you have to clean them.
Visits are basically mandated everywhere now (just the NHL will take 10 more years while everyone else has already made them mandatory)
If you are required to wear a visor anyway it feels like the version with a few bars covering the teeth/jaw can’t fog up that much more than just the visor alone?

Visors are mandatory in the NHL, players not wearing them before the ruling are grandfathered in though.
I got a used pro players helmet from my team for $20 after the season (they sell off all their gear to fans) which is great bargain for a really nice piece of equipment - but I wouldn’t dare playing games with it because it’s a visor obviously. I look like one of the cooler dads at the 4year olds’ skate practice though.
