I saw the goal tender from Chelsea wearing some sort of helmet. Looked like something the Red Baron might have worn.

Seeing a sport live always takes it up a few hundred notches. I love living in a city with a professional sports team when they make the playoffs. The city goes crazy and gets that team fever. I love it. GO ROCKIES

The head gear is made by Canterbury of NZ, who specialise in protective gear for rugby.
