 it doesn't even have to be a blocking shot.  those pucks come flying...
and i doubt the guys you play with are comparable with ovechkin, crosby and the like.  
i can't believe you think it would be a good idea to completely change how hockey is played, just so people don't have to wear a helmet.  makes no sense.
people have gotten injured after a puck hit them in the helmet, and you want them not to have that?  that is completely absurd.
