good question, i know they are not mandatory in our local hockey association (minor hockey), but they are recommended. Something about not proven to decrease concussions significantly enough to mandate wearing them.
So my girlfriend's asking about whether or not it's mandatory to wear mouth guards in the NHL for a project she's doing in her PR program. She's showing interest in hockey (even if it is just equipment) so I clearly need to jump all over this.
Only problem is I can't find anything saying whether or not it is currently mandatory to wear one. I found something saying it wasn't in 2009. Anyone able to help with this or know where I should look?
Thanks in advance!

I'd suggest looking up the official rules on NHL.com but I can assure you that they are not mandatory.
