This. It just might serve as an incentive to not go for the head if the price you pay for it is a dislocated shoulder. hard elbow and shoulder pads are basically weapons, and softer ones might actually provide equal or better protection. If hockey players are supposed to be able to take a hit, they should also be able to deliver hits without relying on armor.
