  Mouth guards will be required for next season. Returning players must have them for the first practice. Please try to get a custom mouth guard from your dentist. Custom are smaller and actually help prevent injury. You only need it for the top set of teeth. Try to get it in a color and it may be covered by your insurance. (Posted: March 2008)
