Got a funny question for you guys. What's up with this guys helmet and uniform? It isn't like the rest of his teams. There's flames on the helmet and on his shoulders.

I'm not sure if it is in this case, but in swiss hockey the topscorer (per team? not sure with that) gets an unique helmet, I only know of golden ones, so maybe this is new (or complete nonsense in my memory ;) ).

Yes it's the top scorer for each team. Thus, all goons need'nt thinking where is the top player. lol

Seriouly, it's a good idea to look the best player in points in each teams. But too many of penalty can slow the evalution points for a top scorer. It's the best player with a good attitude too.

For the top scorer, the jersey (the back) and the helmet were different than the others player.

In the end of the season, all top scorers will receive a mount of money about the points they made. And this money goes for the junior of their each own team. It's a sponsor who help the development in the league.

It's a little special but it's good for the development of the young swiss players.

Another picture from a top scorer with Joe Thornton at Davos:
