Already NFHS has adopted the standard and for high school play all chest protectors purchased after January 1, 2020 must meet the standard. More adoptions are cer- tainly on the way and team dealers need to be prepared. While it is not yet manda- tory for players to wear chest protectors that follow the standard, manufacturers are filling the pipeline in antici- pation of more widespread acceptance in coming sea- sons. The NOCSAE standard for catcher's chest protectors is based on research that shows the risk of commotio cordis can be significantly reduced by wearing equip- ment that meets this standard. Existing protectors can not be retrofit to meet the standards. NOCSAE stresses that all components required to pass the standard must be permanently attached to each other and tested as new equipment. If a catcher were to wear something in addition to his or her chest protector, that additional piece must meet the NOCSAE standard by itself and be marked as such.

Q Stahls' Puts On A Show at NFL Draft As fans throughout the country waited to hear the 2018 NFL Draft picks announced at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX this spring, a team from Stahls' was behind the scenes providing a personalized jersey for each draftee. Two minutes or less from the time a player was drafted to when he crossed the stage to meet the NFL commissioner, Stahls' three-person on-site team had a jersey with his name on it in the team's font and color ready for presentation. This was the seventh year Stahls' Decorating Fulfillment Center teamed with NFL official uniform provider Nike to commemorate the draft. Using pre-spaced names of all prospects created in advance to match each team's jersey and two Hotronix heat presses, the Stahls' crew was able to pull and press the correct transfer on the corresponding team jersey as soon as the name was made known.
