I started this "quest" of making a cut resistant protective skate sock when I saw an NHL player get cut and almost have his career ended. That was my "blink" - my eureka moment. I just got back from some shows in Toronto and met coaches and parents of young kids and teens who have been cut. Pisses me off that it happened to them. Really does. Happened before there were cut resistant skate socks. I am a dad and would do anything to protect my son. My protective socks will prevent serious injuries to players and just as the NY Rangers have made my sock mandatory, the minor hockey associations should be looking to do the same. We really have to step up and work at making sure all our kids are wearing this protective gear just as they have to wear a helmet and neck guard. PLEASE if you are an association get in touch with me and lets work together! As parents we ahve to educate the boards there are new innovative options protective options out there.
There, you have my rant and venting. Hearing the stories and seeing the scars really bothered me....let's see what we can do to prevent further injuries.
Cheers
David
