Hockey players around the world are taking their personal safety a little bit more seriously after former Penguin Adam Johnson tragically passed away last month. While the NHL has not made any mandates or suggestions for new protective equipment, some players are taking the initiative to protect themselves anyways. <h2>Oilers Players Wear Cut-Resistant Base Layers From NHLer's Personal Brand</h2> Two Oilers players were seen wearing base shirts from the brand Warroad. The brand has a sponsorship deal with Capitals forward TJ Oshie, who was been using their neck guard since Johnson's passing. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1720222937591009378'> </a></blockquote></div> Warroad specializes in sports-wear with a specialization in protective equipment for hockey players. Among their products are neck guards and cut-resistant base layer shirts and pants. After the Oilers defeated the kraken yesterday three players posed for a picture posted on X. In the picture, Evander Kane and Darnell Nurse can be seen wearing Warroad cut-resistant shirts. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1725048882147766556?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1725048882147766556%7Ctwgr%5E4819e842a17d8c68673baf80f7957ba5f60d6f54%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oilersdaily.com%2Fedmonton-oilers%2FMultiple-Edmonton-Oilers-Make-Crucial-Equipment-Change-Following-Tragedy'> </a></blockquote></div> This is the latest development in a sport-wide movement towards greater player safety.
