The mission of The Messier Project is to address the issue
of concussion, which has become an epidemic in hockey,
through product development and a public awareness campaign.
The Messier Project campaign is an all-encompassing grassroots and
educational initiative which aims to change priorities in the sport
by encouraging athletes to play smart and choose the best protective
equipment.
When it comes to reducing the risk of concussion, protection is performance. Players spend big on the fastest skates and the lightest sticks. Priorities need to change so that head protection comes first, because when you consider what is at stake, safety must be the number one priority.
Expanding upon Mark Messier’s personal mission to protect the players and the game he loves, The Messier Project will engage the hockey community through the promotion of concussion awareness, smart play, and protective equipment education.
