in august 1979, john ziegler jr., the president of the national hockey league, announced that protective helmets would become mandatory in the nhl. "the introduction of the helmet rule will be an additional safety factor", he said. the only exception to the rule are players—after signing a waiver form—who signed pro contracts prior to june 1, 1979. essentially, this grandfather clause allowed hockey's veterans to choose whether or not they wanted to wear helmets but forced all new players to wear them.
