Need help for hockey research project

[HaBs4LiFe3]

this is habs related because I believe the habs have the most players wearing visors in the league..
I need to find out how many players on each time wear visors. My project is about visors in hockey and I really need this info. I need to compare the injuries of the team that has the fewest visors vs the team with the most. Can someone help me and tell me where to find this info?? Please, If anyone knows where to find out which NHL players wears visors then tell me.


thanks a lot

Well, I know a way but it would take some time. ESPN and TSN have headshots of every player in their info, and they are wearing their helmets, might be somewhere to start.

Edit: Only TSN has headshots with helmets on, heres an example:

www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/player_bio.asp?player_id=154&hubName=MTL

On second look, its not all that great, its going to be hard to find this info unless someone has already made a list.

ya i need a list real badly but i really appreciate your help.. right now that is all i have to work with...

there's gotta be a recent list somewhere........ i heard cjad habs commentators say how oilers had all but 3 players who didn't wear visors and how the habs have mostly visors (forget teh exact #)... they must have gotten this info from somewhere not just looked at every single player and counted......

It doesn't matter how many of our forwards and defensemen wear visors.

It's the number who are wearing blinders that concerns me.

This exact issue is touched on in a recent issue of the hockey news (richard zednik on the cover i do beleive (unrelated story)). but the habs have 15 players wearing visors if i remember correctly, and that is tops in the nhl... all teams are listed in the issue, but i cant find the article online.

[HaBs4LiFe3]

wow that article would be perfect.... thanks a lot
i guess i will try to find it but i doubt that it is online..
do you know what issue, month it was?

[haborama]

Yeah, I know I saw a list somewhere. It is in that Hockey News with Zednik on the cover. Buy that and you're set. Don't know if they have the numbers for every single team though.

what month and issue is this article in with zed on the cover?? how can i order just that one ? help someone.. i didnt find that issue on THN website.. www.thehockeynews.com

[haborama]

I saw it at a corner store the other day. Don't know the issue number or anything, your best bet is just to go over to 7-11 and pick it up.

I guess there's a newer issue out now. If you look on the website, you'll see the issue on the advertisements on the right and bottom of the page. It says "Return to Glory?" on the cover.

98/99 - 15%
99/00 - 21%
00/01 - 24%
01/02 - 28%
02/03 - 32%

Hope this helps. Good luck on your project.

Here's a discussion thread from another board on the topic of visors; may be some food for thought there:
