Before I came to the Bears, there were on averages 85-90 concussions –games per year. Once the Maher mouth guard was introduced, there have only been 20 concussion games missed by Bears who have worn the mouth guard. I have been with the Bears since 2009.

Over the past 12 years of my professional hockey career I have exclusively worn Maher Mouth Guard. I can honestly say it’s been my most important piece of equipment. On numerous occasions, I have been hit extremely hard and found myself waiting for concussion symptoms, but they never came. I have used several mouth guards in the past and I can confidently say that there isn’t one I trust more than Maher Guard!
