Of all the safety-related changes in the NHL and all other major sports, how have people not mentioned a suggestion to change hockey rinks to reduce/slope/eliminate the gap between the dasher boards and the glass. Anyone who has played knows it can do some damage. That corner can be very significant, I've known 3 people who all bruised or ruptured their kidney and wound up pissing blood in the hospital just from their torso hitting it, let alone a head or face. I suppose it would make things a little more difficult for the zebras but thought I would put that out there, I've never heard it mentioned before. A seamless transition would cause problems, more guys going down on body checks and the zebras would have some trouble... but I'm sure it could be improved while still serving a purpose. NHLers could always keep it as is. Do you canucks ever do this on youth rinks (if you have those)?
