Protecting the most important part of the game.

With concussions being the largest issue in the NHL and NFL, it is apparent that the two leagues need to improve testing and issuing out correct tests grades.  Especially in the NFL is this an issue, where players will continue to play under the influence of medication, in order to get there time on the field.  In hockey, it is all about being able to get out for the next shift, but it is important to improve yourself in time for it.  Well, what if you didn't have to always be as concerned about the most important of your body.  With advances in helmets from companies such as Bauer, CCM, and Riddell it has be less of an issue to have to worry about going to the locker room for tests every time.  The companies have been adding layers to the there helmets by having foam pads with small plates in between the frame and foam.
