Jagr looks like such a tool in that picture.

Oh no, the 3rd generation Jofa helmet.. think Loob, Irbe, etc... that's the worst!

What did Petr Klima wear?

That one was the worst, hands down.

Although Butch Goring had a beauty too...

Not all Jofa's were banned, I believe just the particular model that Gretzky, Kurri, etc wore.

Didn't they make helmets optional a few years back?

That's the one Maybe players had better hockey thoughts in the ugly helmets?

Did Jagr wear that helmet at the Worlds last year? If so, I can't believe he's still alive. He took a rocket shot off his head in the semis against Sweden.

Nope, helmets are mandatory.

On the subject of helmets I'll take the Cooper sk2000 over the Jofa "egg-head" helmet any day!

I think Jagr used one of those Jofa 235 helmets last season in Russia too, they're true classics! Looks kinda weird with a visor though.

And they sell for quite a lot on Ebay, I've seen them going for up to $100 and maybe even more. I have a green one myself but I'm not selling it...

typical backwards IOC

they require visors for all players under 25 but allow a helmet which is basically tin-foil hat in terms of protection.

I've got a bunch of them, too.
Even the older model, pre-Gretzky-model.

Isn't Messier's helmet the old Win-Well?

Irbe wears this thing, with the goalie mask http://www.peoples.ru/sport/hockey/larionov/larionov_2.jpg

I believe Igor Larionov was the last to play in the NHL with the old Gretzky helmet.

A lot of people covet the old Jofa combos because the cage had the best visability.

People keep coming into the store asking if we sell the "egg-shell" helmet combo despite the fact that it's been out of production for almost a decade. We tell them to try eBay.

Messier's was a Cooper SK2000 with a Win-Well sticker on it. Maybe they custom padded it (we always wanted those leather starps his had that held the chinstrap instead of the usual rubber/plastic ones). Kurri wore the old Jofa with a visor for part of his career.
